That is good if it has put you off building a shed. It is too big of a project for many people. That is the advantage of doing this kind of research before you get started.

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about build your own garden shed plans try Sovallo Shed Guide Fixer (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.

+mimi taylor Your best option for a loft is something with a barn stye gambrel roof. There are plenty of videos on building those on this youtube channel, and more info on my website: CheapSheds.com.

Same here just hide them bottom part of the shed with some wood work!!!

Use colored wood stamped concrete.

Lining the blocks up with the edge of the shed is just for looks. Where you put the blocks will depend on how you space the skids. And where you put the door and window has no effect on the foundation as long as it's build sturdy and firm.

+CheapShedsDotCom Appreciate the info thanks! Already started building. Will share my progress. :)

+money razor Don't forget he also said to "Glue it & Screw it"!

money razor Hahaha good stuff

B. B. Ok

Absolutely. It doesn't matter if you make your floor 8x12 or 12x8. The only difference is you will need shorter (8ft) and more skids (total of 3) when you run the (12ft) joists in the different direction. No need to double up on the perimeter joists.

Yes the door can be located on any side of the shed.

A concrete slab will be built directly on the ground. Dig down about 6 inches around the edges to make them thicker, then fill and raise the middle about 2 inches and pour your slab about 4 inches thick. This will make it about 6 inches off the ground to allow for water to run around it, and allow 4 to 5 inches of wood to earth gap with 1 inch siding overhang.

CheapShedsDotCom That's ok for places like Florida. But I live in Montreal Canada, where the winter temperatures sometime reach -40 below zero Celsius. I don't believe that the concrete slab can be built directly over the ground for this reason. quite simply, the ground under the concrete slab gets so frozen that the slab will eventually crack. This is why a layer of about 6" of compacted gravel is necessary UNDER the concrete slab. And that's not all. Rebarb is needed in the concrete slab as well. Extreme cold causes very bad things to happen.....

@@lduranceau8046 If you knew all that, why did you even ask the question...?

Then it's no longer a shed lol .... . . . .double up on 2x4 I guess

Any of my shed plans can be made shorter. I'm also working on a single slope lean to style shed plans for a shorter shed.

The regular shed plans offer 3:12, 4:12, and 5:12 pitches. The Deluxe plans offer 6:12 and 12:12 pitches.

Just look at your roof line of your home and you can determine pitch with simple measurements or your square... From there, you can go the same or lower on your shed to transfer the stylistics.... This is probably a 4-12 and I've seen 2-12's

There would be no way to give an accurate estimate at what this would cost each person to build. He could share how much it cost him to build one, but it could end up being a very different price for you. I have worked at home depot in tennesse now for a year and I have seen 2x4's go for as little as $3 or up to over $6 and a sheet of 1/2 inch OSB go for $6 to $12 all depending on the time of year and supply. Lumber seems to be cheaper in the late spring and summer time. I imagine this goes for all big box stores. You may find cheaper prices at a local mill yard if you have access to one though.

Mark F.This shed is meant to be as simple as possible. My other shed 3 plans offer up to 12 inches of overhang. In reality the roof sheeting can overhang several inches without failing. This is based on hundreds of actual sheds I've built over the last 25 years.

every locale has different rules; visit yours on-line or call the Building Inspector's office.

10 x 6 x 4? :-/ You mean 4 x 6 x 10? lol

@@REVerbtalk En Vogue what's it going to be all the songs come on son of a b****

That information and all other dimensions are included in my plans. In addition I include a complete materials list and cost estimate worksheet to calculate the cost before you build.

you can find a cost estimate on my website at www.cheapsheds.com.

That's totally dependent on your build but for the basic simple cheapy weepy setup... 96 sq ft Roughly 32 boards and account for the roof and waste so I'm sticking it at 48. I hoard studs hahaha. Prices based on Home depot (48) 2 x 4 = $85.92 THREE(3) 4 x 4 x 8 = $9.00 Plywood for the rood: $66.00 Construction Screws(Exterior): $26.00 ... Don't use drywall screws, I can swear those are drywall screws he was using on this video excluding the roof Plywood w/ Siding Design. $60.00 Concrete plates and foundation setup: $50.00(Aimmed a little high, I use a different setup) Misc lag bots and materials for the roof: $96.00 I forgot to add the floor plywood so just attach 3 more and it's $27.00 Total Project Cost Estimate: $419.92. These typically cost around that for the size and it's a matter of how designed you want to take it. Some 1x6's and maybe a build out for Soffit and fascia, hardware for the doors, extra material for the lower parts to cover the ground for your cats to rest under LOL.

I'm afraid not. I only have access to materials in ft and inches therefore I have used those measurements only.

ok. thx for your reply 😃

This is one of my earlier videos so I think I have improved over the years. As long as you are able to get through it, that is the most important thing.

Toby Bruna This particular shed is 8 wide, 12 long and 7ft high sidewalls. But it's 8 ft tall in the center of the gable.

En Vogue what's it going to be all the songs

Pressure treated skids are the minimum protection if you live in a dry area. If you live in a wet area you will want more protection, like pressure treated floor joists and floor sheeting.

Yeah, he should have cracked some jokes or something. That would have added value for the more simple minded folks that can't appreciate the value of free or low cost information.
