Build a Lean-To Shed [Part 1- Pour Foundation with Paver Floor]

Рет қаралды 115,112

Күн бұрын

Make forms and pour a concrete foundation to add a shed extension off the back of the workshop. We excavate the site, build forms, add rebar and bracing, pour the concrete, then add pavers over compacted gravel to make a floor. This is Part 1 of our shed extension series. This shed will be used for wood storage and to free up floor space.

Thanks for actually making an informative video for people looking to do this themselves.

Thank you very much Tom! I so appreciate your support and kind words. I have to admit, I struggled with this video. It took way longer than I expected to whittle it down to a reasonable length. When I looked through and assembled all the footage I was just not feeling that I had a good episode here -- and right to the last minute I had doubts. So, to read a comment like yours (and others here) is a true blessing. Cheers, Kent

@kennethboyer2338 3 жыл бұрын

Better to go a bit above when doing formwork for concrete. Seen too many times people trying to half ass it and they ending having to rebuild it correctly. That's also a good way to install the anchor bolts for the wall. It's always best to do it right the first time.

@charleswaters455 2 жыл бұрын

That's an excellent, no compromises example of a solid foundation. It'll be there long after you're dead. Do you regret using the capstones? Why not just concrete? Cost? It looks great and the nice thing about the stones if that spills will disappear into the cracks.

Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos. However, I have a question. How do we weather proof the sides which back up against the back wall. I’m anchoring my shed to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏

That is one heck of a job. Lots of calories burned, for sure. So, how much did this foundation cost? And how much do you think you saved by doing it yourself?

Thanks Bill. I haven't worked out the costing for this. And, I'm not a pro so I'm sure if I did this every day I could find a faster and cheaper way to build the forms.

@aaronblackford981 4 күн бұрын

Dear lord. I thought my dad was bad about forms for concrete. Yeah. A little bit over built, like a target is my dad and you is Empire State Building. However, with concrete, it’s way better to over build forms than under 💯. Honestly no shade at all.

I don't know what part of the country this was built in but without plastic under the floor, moisture rising out of the ground could become an issue inside that shed.

Everyone wants to do a good solid job but for the weights involved in a timber framed building was the concrete foundation really necessary ? Would a timber floor standing on paving slabs with a good membrane beneath be sufficient to support a timber framed building ? I recently built decking for a hot tub and worked out that the tub plus 4 people in it would be something like 1.5 tons, in a relatively small footprint. I have only mounted it as described above and 3 year on its as solid as the rock of Gibraltar. .

Thank you! Do you need to get a permit and inspections when you build addition to your existing shed? Does the total SF of the shed include the addition? In our county and state any structure above 200 SF must get a permit. What software do you use for 3-D drawings and animations? I like a lot your raised beds concrete design. It can be assembled and disassembled like a Lego. But I’m hesitant to use Concrete in the permanent form like you use here to support walls. Any concrete structure like this to disassemble require to break concrete and deal with all the broken concrete to load and properly dispose or collect the junk on your yard. Please give the solution to my question.

Where did the concrete curb next to the door opening come from? You didn't mention it or show it being poured.

@MANaboutTOOLS Жыл бұрын

It was a reinforcement and repair of the existing shed foundation. I propped up some plywood and drilled a few holes in that foundation and tapped in some short rebar sections. So that repair would be permanently attached to the old foundation wall.

The author does like to from scratch, kzfaq.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
