You should really make more content, your style is perfect and there is not enough Aussies doing it!

Interesting video, end product turned out good. Wanted to share some thoughts for anyone at home considering assembling a similar shed. Although the instructions state to build and stand a wall at a time. Perfect way to do it for low roof heights. With kits where the eve height is 2700 - 3000, build each u shaped portal and stand them one by one. Sealing the gap between the sheet and the slab is a challenge to achieve in a cost effective manor. Do note the composition of concrete will corrode sheets when the w are in contact, especially so if back filling against a sheet. There is off the shelf materials available depending upon what sheet profile you use. At the time of writing such product options are limited and expensive. If you intend to line internal walls, consider using conventional insulation batts with runs of fishing line to retain them pre cladding installation. Generally speaking batts are more cost effective with a higher insulation value. Hopefully some one finds this info helpful

You’re a scholar and a gentleman. Very thorough and informative. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

Thank you for taking the time to make this video as I have just bought a shed from Best Sheds and plan to build it myself. you have given me some good ideas :)

You might be 'just a DIY'r mate but I'm guessing this isn't your first shed rodeo. Huge range on skills and thought on display here, and beautifully told story too. Top stuff.

Wow this vid was soo good I don’t normally comment but couldn’t help it Very neat tidy and easy to understand

Thankyou, very generous of you to nake this video available to us all.

Geez you're game videoing your effort without any prior experience, i would have looked like a complete muppet if i videoed my build effort, i'm fairly handy with DIY stuff but still was scratching my head the whole time. Well done, really enjoyed watching!

Great job at explaining keep the videos coming!

Great video, excellent job explaining in an almost step-by-step process. Especially liked the part at the end about the confusion with the roller door instructions. Your a total bad ass...rock on brother.

This is exactly the video i needed to find, Thanks Rowan

Expert work and presentation, well thought out and delivered.

Such a good video mate! Helped me out heaps. Love your work! 💪🏼

Excellent vid mate you're helping alot of us out

Thanks for the great video, it's really helpful to have an Aussie run through the steps of the build in this much detail. Cheers

As a man of culture and someone who appreciates a great beard, I appreciate you in explaining your thought process and guiding the audience through your build. Keep up the great work.

Your video made me more confident doing it myself as well. Legend

Awesome. Cheers 🍻

Great video, well planned out and great step by step information. Thanks heaps

appreciate this video a lot, one step at a time

What a crazy shed set up you done well, nice video man

Excellent

Great video and well done mate

Great video, mate. I've finally got my slab poured and the shed delivered. Thanks for talking us through your experience. I'll be thinking of the finished product as I slave away, getting her up.

Nice work, you are a legend doing a what you have and thanks for a well made video on how

Really appreciate the effort in attention to detail of the explanation, the troubleshooting and the budget breakdown. Pretty nice shed there! Lucky duck!

Great explanation of the build process, Rowan - nicely done! And a great result!

Excellent video mate. Watched from start to finish. The shed looks a treat

Great work mate. Predrilling the wall sheets was an awesome tip I got off a mate that’s a shed builder.

Awesome video mate 👍

Thanks for the great video. Embarking on a DIY barn build soon myself. All Aussie colourbond steel.

Top video , very informative and simple to understand

i am currnetly in the process of insulating my shed as i am in CQ and it gets rather hot. your idea for structural pine and concrete to seal the sides was a great idea which i will now use on my shed thank you.

Great video mate. Most people skip over the initial paperwork phase in their videos but it was good to see that it isn't as daunting as it seems.

G'day cobba! Just found the channel, through this Vid. Another one of those times when you wish you found the channel ages ago. I'm making my way through all your content, it's great stuff. I love the letterbox. Using railway sleepers and hand forged components looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing and hello from up in Ipswich👍

Nice work mate 👌

im up in Cairns Qld getting my shed build as I read, just looking up shed builds on KZfaq lol, brilliant work mate, I couldn't have built it myself that's for sure👌 nice vid.

Thank you Sir, VERY helpful, just about to start my 13.5 meter x 6 meter Best shed shed, your experience is of great help

You are GOOD.

great video mate!

What a great video!

Thanks Man ! I can ensure you that i watch lots of this kind of video and i am far from being a "keyboard warrior" as you said so well. But i truly enjoyed very much your video, liked your humility despite such a great result. It s inspiring and i hope i will one also live that experience to build and own a shed in which i will make a living in. All the best toy you

Mate that video was outstanding - so well thought through, filmed, edited. The content was great too, exactly what I came here for. Thank you so much for sharing. A few really minor points: 1) I've used exactly the same sealant on my concrete driveway and carport, and was told to use 50% thinners for the first coat, which I did and it worked well. Don't know the pro's and cons of 20% vs 50% but if you want to spread your remainder that's an option. 2) Have you thought about roof sprinkler systems for fire protection? if so, I'd love to see you do it, as you seem very DIY savvy and meticulous. 3) With regards to electrical, I get you wanting it done properly, but another option I use all the time, is run all the cable & conduit and mount all fittings, then pay a sparky to connect, check & power up. That way it's certified work for the construction cert and ongoing insurance, but a lot cheaper. Heaps of sparkies are happy to spend 2 hours and charge $500 instead of 2 days for $2,000. 4) Did you set any fall for the slab or just do it all dead-flat? The former is good for water run off eg pressure cleaning and the latter best for machinery obviously. 5) Do you have any idea of what weight you can safely lift using the roof beams as is? Some large spans obviously. I like lifting engines out of cars or lifting a ride-on mower up to work on it, so roof winches are useful but load bearing could be an issue. 6) I always throw a sealed conduit with a draw string under a slab across the middle in case of future cabling requirements. I can't help myself, sometimes it's better to have power or data coming up from the floor than down from the roof, I mark it on the outside and in the EDB to help future me / owners. Thanks again for such a high quality video, I am going to check out your others now. Take care mate!

Great video, i’m about to build one myself.

Great video

Thanks man, really appreciate the video.

In NZ it costs 2-3x as much as what you pay for steel kit set. In 2021 I built 120m2 plywood shed mono pitch with concrete floor cost $25k excluding electrical and consent fees and labour. Wood cladding improves humidity compared to my previous steel shed.

I know it's a bit late now but I've seen a couple of shed instructional videos that say to offset the foot brackets near the roller doors for the reason you came across. Will be using your video as a reference for when I erect my shed though. 👌

Great Video!

Good on ya mate , Well done

Great video.

great video ,i also ordered best shed kit 6x9 at 2,7 now with steel price rise and i am in high wind category B up here in QLD twin rollers and personal door price was same as yours $7590 delivered , insulation extra around 200 per roll , builder mate i work for nice young fella very smart ,,helping me out with the construction planning and laying the slab .

thanks for the step by step. What the hell is a keyboard warrior..? it sounds awesome, I wanna be one!!

Great video mate; new sub 🙋‍♂️

Thanks, Rowan. Well-paced video. The paperwork side scares many of us, so it was good to see that aspect of the build planning. The cost breakdown was also good to see. I've been quoted much more without plumbing/electrics. Think I'm heading down the self-build route. Might hit you up with some questions as I get through the process . Cheers

Top video Rohan...

Perfect man cave

Hi Elfshot, I just discovered your youtube channel. I really liked it and I immediately signed up. I really like your works, I also followed the construction of your new laboratory and I must say that you are very good. Hope to see new jobs. Enjoy your stay in Australia in your new residence. Roberto from the deep south of Italy (Puglia, Lecce, Salento). p.s. sorry for my google english 👍👍👍

thanks that video was a great help im about to buy land in victoria and setup a workshop

Does not matter how big you make a box gutter, if it's not maintained and cleaned you could still have overflows. 🙂

Great Video mate, I will be saving it for later reference for sure !

Hi Rowan I live in NE Victoria As a woman I really enjoyed watching this vid We have 5 acres of land out of town here. My son would love a “good” shed built. So by watching this vid I can get an idea of what’s needed , what has to be done. I definitely think I will employ a “Shed Builder”. It’s great to have this vid as a reference though. So I will have some idea what to expect. And not get ripped off 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ Cheers & im glad I found your channel Have subscribed 👍

Great vid, thanks for the detail. Can you advise what the LED lights brands was, or provide a link? Thanks.

Awesome vid and very helpful. Shame it’s Chinese steel and not an Australian shed but it’s hard to beat the price.

Hey Rowan, nice build good setup 👍 Doing a build myself on a 320 sq.mt. Garage with man cave and am putting it up myself with a few mates. Been some real setup headaches with plans and lack of details on fixings but are on top of it now, really taking shape. The BIGGEST issue we’re having with this ‘best sheds’ manufacturer is the quality of the Korean steel, we are having real trouble using tek screws to fix as well as drilling holes for 12mm bolts (which should be pre drilled). Have been drilling pilot holes with 5mm bits then 12mm to get hole to fix, but Geez this steel still has rocks in iron ore.. I’ve busted that many drill bits to get through and doesn’t make it any easier when it’s 4.2mt up! Wondering if you had same problems for drilling through this rock?? All the best 👍🇦🇺

Im in the process of planning out a workshop. Wanted to get a 7x12 kit carport, and then just frame some walls to support rough sawn cladding. Would have saved mucking around with engineering. My jaw near hit the ground when I got the price back from ranbuild.

Well done mate. I am wanting to put on a shed at our place in rural nsw. I dont think i am as brave as you i would get a builder to do mine and a concreter, this is because as my wife says the only thing handy about me is i live close. Thanks for the informative video, however our shed will be to live in. Would you say 3 metres high enough or should l go higher? Im also not sure how big a shed i should buy to have 3 or 4 bedroom home. Cheers again your shed looks great, well done.

Great video mate, g guyots to see aussies on YT professional production 🔥

Great video mate, just curious why you didn't just bury the rainwater pipe?

can i ask where a bouts you are in southern NSW - which council did you deal with ?

I'm just about ready to start building my shed. It's going to be 15m across, 9m deep and 3.6m high at the eaves (4.5m high overall) . Still looking for a shed builder to erect the structure. I have a concreter lined up for now. Just wondering about insulation. I want to use Anticon 80 or 100 for the roof, whichever is suited. I was wondering if I should use air cell first, just as you have done for roof and walls, then place the anticon over the air cell just on the roof span. Has anyone ever tried that ?

Who did you use for your owner builder certificate?

Which grade aluminium column are you using

Hi mate, looking at the best sheds, are you happy with your overall experience and the quality? Is it true the steel is from overseas and not colorbond? Cheers.

Would you recommend permastop for shed insulation?

I got my dad to help me put my shed up its a disaster corner capping don't even fit.

I don't think we dig holes for slabs here in WA, is it needed for clay soils?

What sort of club is your clubhouse for?

Is it necessary to seal the cement before building on it?

Any one using this as a guide, don’t lay concrete against wall sheets (as seen here to seal the base of the sheets to the slab). The concrete will dramatically reduce the life span of the sheets

6x6 ?

Did you just say $6000 for the earth works and slab. I feel ripped off I payed $7500 for just a 49 m2 shed slab.🤬

Are you aware that keyboard warrior comments, as stupid as they may be, help your channel with the youtube algorithm? Thats why people purposely state incorrect facts on their video’s, that way they get heaps of comment flac and it helps their channel.

Best sheds is literally the worst possible company you can go with…

A good trick we use in the trades is to put some tape on the drill bit to indicate the length of your dyna bolts, just make it 5-10mm longer then your dynabolts to factor in a bit of dust...

prices have increased big time since this video.

Your white cards are Australia wide I did my one through West Aus into me 30 min and cost $110.
