Framing out my prefab shed

Now that I've erected the reclaimed shed my wife found, I've decided to frame out the structure to provide added strength to it. I'm using reclaimed treated pine that my wife located near my work that I collected late last year. I did a bit of resawing of the framing to create 2x2's so I didn't lose too much interior space, and because I didn't have as many long pieces as I'd hoped.

Just about to do this myself. Didn’t consider sealing the gaps first. That tip helped a lot.

Cool. My pleasure.

I really love this video! It's always better when you have your own space . When you can think your own thoughts! So many other creative ideas would come to mind. I noticed as you filled it up at the end, I had to put my ear to the phone because I could not hear you once the floor and walls were all put up. Many blessings to you and your Channel!

Thankyou Tracey. Appreciate the feedback. Yes, I tried boosting the levels where I could, and lowered the music levels, but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. I've had this issue with video from the GoPro before but it gives the widest angle, which I needed. In some of my other videos I use my phone whenever I know I want to talk, just slipped up this time (again).

Thx for replying so fast, The shed I have has round tubular framing kind of like conduit and I am looking for a way to frame it with 2x2’s like you did. But wasn’t sure how to secure the framing to the walls or ceiling without a lot of damage to the corrugated metal

@oojagapivy 3 жыл бұрын

From memory, I don't think I secured the roof to the framing. The walls were, but not all over the place. Along the header (top wall framing member) and a few studs if they happened to be up against the steel. I also used screws with the rubber washers to prevent leaks. Good luck with yours. Thanks for watching and reaching out.

I'm a great believer in mixing metric and imperial depending on the situation. Saves a lot of hassle.

@oojagapivy 6 жыл бұрын

Andy Pugh same. I’ve grown up with both because of my pop. Now I still use both which is helpful for my wife who uses imperial. Ty for subscribing to my work channel. It’s been a while since my last upload on there.

Just came across this vid as I’ve been looking for shed lining ideas! Wow great job!! Also could you do a vid on your circular saw/table saw hack! Have a C saw but can quite fork out for the table as yet, yours seams tried and tested! Many thanks and keep it up from Brissy!!

@oojagapivy 3 жыл бұрын

Thankyou. I've never thought of doing a video on it, cos it's kinda dodgy ;p but I guess I could as it has served me well for I think 7 or 8 years. Mine is a permanent setup using my old saw as I had bought a newer smaller circ saw. Watch this space I guess.

@oojagapivy 6 жыл бұрын

Sumo's Projects yeah, we wanted to put up a garage, but getting approval can be a pain being in a bushfire zone, and because the garage would have to be out front. However, you can put up smaller sheds in the backyard no probs. Just meet the requirements & you’re sweet to go.

Hey great video I’m doing something similar to my new shed I was wondering how many pieces of wood did you use?

@oojagapivy 2 жыл бұрын

I have no clue sorry. I was just ripping up whatever reclaimed timber I had. The studs were spaced out on 600 centres from memory to match the mdf pieces I had.

Hey mate i know this video is old n ya probably dont remember but was wondering what you sealed the floor with? I know you used foam for the gaps in the corrugated iron did you use the same for the floor ? Cheers

@oojagapivy 22 күн бұрын

I used Selley’s 3in1 silicone sealant. It’s great stuff. I just cut the nozzle a bit bigger.

@ny45458 4 ай бұрын

What sealant is that you used at that start mate

@oojagapivy 4 ай бұрын

It was Selleys brand. A 3 in 1 sealant/adhesive/gapfiller. Silicone based. I love the stuff.

I just came across this as I'm looking at converting an existing shed and I noticed you sealed the floor but left the slight gaps in the roof because of the corrugated steel. Were you worried about water or pests getting in there at all?

@oojagapivy 2 жыл бұрын

Having not watched this for ages I’d obviously not filmed something. I ended up using expanding foam all around where the roof met the walls and along the ridge line. The finished shed is completely sealed inside like a room in a house. Ty for watching

@dennyodea6945 3 жыл бұрын

Just a lil question if I may, My wife also found us a shed. Did you have to screw or attach your walls to the shed or is the fit tight enough to keep it secure. Our shed has round metal framing i kinda like conduit. Thank You Dennis

@oojagapivy 3 жыл бұрын

Are you asking about the shed walls being secure or the framing being secure? I attached the frame to the slab using concrete anchors. It could literally be freestanding and strong. I also then screwed the shed to the frames in several spots as my way of securing it to the slab. I didn't want it to blow away.

@freezingheat27 Жыл бұрын

Hey mate. Trying to do the same. Did you screw any of the frame to the walls and/or roof? Cheers

@oojagapivy Жыл бұрын

Yeah I did. I screwed the walls to the frame in a few areas to add to its stability. I didn’t screw the roof to the frame though.

Hi good video, but the music was too loud. I had to crank up the volume to hear what you were saying, and was then deafened by the music!!!

TY Richard. I've been lowering the music levels in newer videos. Glad you liked the video though.

How did you screw or nail those rafters to the top plate? It doesn't look like you had access from the top for a toenail above the bird's mouth.

@oojagapivy Жыл бұрын

I think I just toenailed upwards from the top plate into the rafter. Not ideal, but it kept them in place. Thanks for watching.

@@oojagapivy it would be awesome to see a more detailed walk through of your framing. I just put up an ABSCO shed and I'm going to have to get some framing inside of it because I'm really afraid that the winter snow will collapse the roof.

@oojagapivy Жыл бұрын

@@Eger118877 the next 2 videos in the playlist show a bit of the framing in more detail, including one scene where I hang from the rafters to test the strength of the roof frame. You’ll see my noggin detail including the extras I put to support the wall sheets I got. I’ve stood on the roof of this shed to trim the trees behind it, so I reckon the frame strengthened it a fair bit.

Why are every other side beam about 3 inches higher then the one beside it?

@oojagapivy Жыл бұрын

If you’re referring to the staggering of the noggins (one up, one down) it’s just how I’ve learnt framing here. Find the mid point of the stud and put one above that point and one below and so on. Each are touching the mid point for the rigidity but staggering makes nailing easier, through the stud into the noggin father than skew nailing through the noggin into the stud.

what type of wood did you use?

@oojagapivy 12 күн бұрын

Reclaimed treated pine framing from a guys pool deck. I ripped it in half so they were roughly 45x45.

Shouldn't use decorators calk for sealing you should use silicone sealant

@oojagapivy 8 ай бұрын

It was silicone. A 3in1 adhesive, sealant and gap filler. It’s white instead of clear and is paintable. It’s what I almost exclusively use now unless something calls for a specialty product or colour.
