Genius! I'm getting ready to put up a new tin shed and floor kit in the fall - after this brutal summer heat. I will certainly use this; thanks for your time posting this!

'... for the stupid shed ...' My thoughts exactly after spending 2 months constructing and tweaking mine! I went with a similar idea but used Visqueen instead (heavy plastic). Your solution looks to be more effective. Happy shedding Rob :)

Thanks a lot. I happen to have the same shed and thanks to you I searched window cap in homedepot and found the vinyl siding. Also learned how to raise shed. In my case not sure it's a good idea to interfere with their provided drainage holes for the doors as my shed is slightly inclined towards outside for that side and also less exposed.

Terrific looking method. I bought a house w the same shed and the wood floor is completely rotted and fallen through. The shed has some rust but it’s not coming through to the inside so I’m gonna sand, paint then rebuild the floor. I’m gonna use your method. The window cap with the built in lip is genius! Thanks!

I just tore the exact same shed down yesterday to move it to my house. It was a nightmare to take down. I imagine it’ll be even worse going up

I have been having a TERRIBLE time with water getting into my new shed! I really want to get my tools moved into it, but don't dare until I can be sure I have plugged all the leaks. I happened to have a gallon of Flex Seal that was supposed to be for another project that didn't get done so I painted the OSB that I used for the floor. I have also sprayed Flex Seal and caulked multiple seams/screws/bolts, possible gaps as I can think of. I will be drilling the holes in the door slot!
@daniele.6443 ай бұрын
Is the flex seal working well? Got alot of water intrusion in our recently-built shed on a plywood base and would like to seal it up, especially around the base where most of the water seems to be getting in.

@@daniele.644 For an overall floor covering, no, it's wearing off. Probably would have been better to use a marine paint. Because my roof is leaking I'm not sure if I am getting any water from around the base or not. I have come to the conclusion that the metal shed kit was a big waste of money for my intended purpose.

I can not build one out of plywood and 2x4s, for the same price. These shed are not stupid. There just cheap metal. I'am sure i got to do some bracing, insulation, and lighting. Its going to become a well house with some storage!

What store did you get he white trim from? I’m having a hard time locating it. Thanks for the advice.
Curious has it been working for you? Can you get the window and door cap in different sizes?
@robsgaragewoodworkin10 ай бұрын
Works well. I added some spray foam in the frame at the corners so no water gets in there. I only found that door cap in one size.

@@robsgaragewoodworkin thanks again I clicked on your link and see that you were in Canada. So I went to Home Depot here in the US and all they had was aluminum. I went to Menards which is our other Lumberyard here in the states and they had the exact same company and the exact same product that you used! Hooray success!
