• DIY Plastic Shed From ...
We need more storage at the Live & Flip 😫
PLEASE HELP US FIND A CHEAP SOLUTION!!
Cue this affordable #rubbermaid #plastic #storage #shed
The budget will not allow for us to build a garage ($55,000) or even a wooden shed ($5,000).
This was such an easy build with moderate skills and only a couple tools. Lauren and I built it in 7 hrs, stretched out between two days. A couple very minor set backs included 1 mislabeled roof piece and hard to attach roof corners (nothing a rubber mallet couldnt fix). Other than that it was a breeze. It definitely could have been built in 1 day, maybe 5 hours without small distractions like kids and dance breaks.
Now we have a place for some tools and tripping hazards in the den. Maybe now we can wmpty out that room enough to tackle the hardwood floors.
Thanks for watching and please drop a comment or email if there is any DIY budget friendly dilemas that you need help with.

What were the actual dimensions of the base? I have the shed demensions but it is actually larger than 10 ft.
This shed that we built in the video was
7 feet deep by 10.5 feet wide . The base we built was 12 feet by 8 feet. Less waste that way and it fit 3 pieces of plywood perfectly next to each other.
When you’re building the base make sure you have more braces than we did and supports in the middle. Also don’t skimp out on the plywood thickness. Because this is a plastic shed the floor was very soft and sagging so we had to move it and reinforce the entire base. It was a nightmare.
I’m putting a video out on that in the next couple weeks
I'm only using 2*4 treated so going back to get 2 12 footers instead of 10.
And then the dollar store to get soap
2 x 4 base should be fine as long as you’re not putting anything too heavy in there. Good luck!
This family is funny. Thanks for the laughs.
Thank you @everydayworklife 👍🏼 I wish I could get my whole crew into more of our videos
Great Video. 😂
Thank you @ATLTRANSPORTER2 we had fun making that video!
Dance moves 10/10 🤣🤣
Ha ha! Thanks Tamiko
Completely open to the elements, JUNK!!
@BillC-eq8ym you could just go to Home Depot and get 118 of their HDX tough storage bins instead. That would cost you $1,422.96. They hold 27 gallons. That would be a total of 3,186 gallons of storage. Or this Rubbermaid shed that is 428 CU Feet or 3,201 gallons of storage for $1,599.00 😂 I guess the storage bins are a better deal
Y’all get a10/10 for your dance moves.😅
Your the best Demetria 🤣 we really appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Dance moves a solid 6 Which is above average :)
😂🤣 we’ll take it. Best compliment so far this year!
I did it on my own, it’s possible. Used a ladder for support to hold walls in place while I secured.
Nice tip Jesus 👍🏼 yes you could definitely do it on your own with some clever ideas like this
Hair dryer on the windows before you start peeling will save you a good 30 mins getting that protective paper off… makes it easy Peary!
Great advice, thank you Sue! I’ll definitely remember that next time
LOL... I went though that and learned to heat them as well.
Prices have gone up a tad... that shed cost me $1600 (inflation). I just completed it all alone, placing it on a concrete paver base I put down last fall (24x24x2" 100 pounders). Key thing for any of these "snap" together sheds... a 100% completely level base is key.
My only complaint so far is on the very first wall to go up, they forgot to route out one of the finger holes in the base. Drove me nuts as to why it would not go in until I looked at it closely (with the base being black, it was easy to miss).
I used treated 2x4s around the inside parameter to allow me to drill concrete anchors through them and the bottom and screw the side walls into. The thought that only 10 small screws anchored between the sides and bottom soft plastic were all that held this thing from blowing away gave me chills to the bone. I now have a plate to build my internal shelves on top of and provide even more abilities to screw the sides into along the top. No way will this thing go anywhere now.
The door lock clasp is a joke... I'm going to beef up the entire door system (skim the inside with 1/2" plywood and put on better handles and a heavy door clasp. Will make it much more robust.
Great insight 👍🏼 I love the 2x4 idea at the bottom and yes those 10 little screws and lock are a joke. It’s still a decent little shed for the price even with inflation because the wood sheds are all marked up in price as well.
Dance moves on 100 🥳
LOL 😂 thanks! No formal training if you can believe that
Good video
Thanks so much, what was your favorite part?
Great video! Did you anchor the shed down?
It’s funny you ask Kevin! I have a video dropping tomorrow and SPOILER ALERT: that’s the main topic 🤦🏻♂️
Can you describe how you built your foundation base? What gravel did you use (2A or 2B)?
I’m actually working on a video about that now. We made a bunch of mistakes on the foundation. I had to move the shed and fix it. Long and short of it was we did not put enough support under it. And because it was a plastic shed it really magnified the lack of support on the floor.
But to answer your other question, we used 2B.
Great video!
@@dreamdaycharleston thank you so much. I have a follow up video coming soon on some of my likes and dislikes with the shed
@@GoodTroubleHome Whatever happened to the follow-up video?
It’s about 98% done. Holidays and my job set my editing back. I promise it’s coming VERY soon
I have a question? For the left door do you guys have to lift it up a bit to get it open? Or maybe my dad and I installed it a bit wonky 😅
Hey David, NOT your dad’s fault 😂 both of our doors need a little help closing. The left door needs to be lifted so the locks line up. On the right side, we need to lift the front corner of roof up a little to get the door closed. Nothing seems to line up exact on this shed but it’s not a deal breaker at that price point. After about a month things seemed to settle into place. Maybe the plastic warming up made it loosen
