You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans kzfaq.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).

Great video, the cost breakdown was an excellent addition. Thank you.

Home gym? You don’t need one after building that! 💪💪

I've been watching KZfaq videos for hours to find out how to do this right. This is the only one I've come across (that didn't use heavy equipment) that looks like a solid build. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for the video. This is exactly what I was looking for to do the same in my slopped backyard. Great job.

Awesome that you showed how much you saved by doing this yourself! Thanks!

Man... I got tired just watching you work...! Who needs a gym after THAT work out... good job!

Good video! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I'm thinking about doing a 10x12 shed gym at my home as well.

I'm gonna build a similar pad for my new hot tub. This is awesome man. Excellent tutorial. That thing looks like it'll last a lifetime and never move!

Great video...thanks for showing us the way you did yours. And also thank you for your service to our country!! Hoorah!

Thanks for the video. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for serving as well. I’m in the Army as well. Will definitely be following these plans to build my home gym shed. Looking forward to watching the rest.

Best feeling when you know you can do it yourself.

Love the cost breakdown at the end, thank you for this

That last beat was 🔥 Thanks for a thoughtful and thorough how to video

That digging looks brutal! Thank God I live in FL. Nice job

Great video guys! Everyone laughed at us when we said we were going to put our shed on a gravel base the same as the one we had seen a couple of guys on youtube build-And yet there it stands in our back garden, absolutely solid and completely straight and £150 cheaper than using paving slabs- Keep up the good work.

Awesome, thank you for your service

Looking up shed bases on slopes and yours is definitely the best. Thanks for a brilliant video and keep up the great work from Ireland. ☘️👍

That’s hard work right there. Taking the time to do it right.

Thanks Stan the man! great video gave me lots more to think about

Good vid, actually shows you sweating and doing the monotonous tasks. Not the usual glamorous speeded up vids that make it look so simple and effortless.

Been meaning to thank you for this video. This video helped me gain confidence in building a 12x12 with gravel.

Man thats bedroom music for sure. This helped me envision my slope of about a foot. Appreciate the vid!

Very well done. Takes time but necessary. A good foundation is so important and this is a good one.

Awesome and you got your workout. Later on are you planning on doing a retainer wall to keep the earth from falling out? Keep us posted. Thank you 😊

Thanks for sharing. Real nice job, much appreciated

Looks great! I see the slope, what are ya gonna do about drainage? Possible dirt/mud build up?

Wow !! Someone other then me is not afraid of a little hard work.. Most other videos everyone is using power equipment. Thx

Nice work! Thanks

great family project.

Fantastic video 👍.

Looks really good! Just subbed the channel. I like all the projects you’ve done.

Solid idea!

Nice!! This helped me make a decision on my ground prep. Great job!

Good ol fashioned hard work baby

Great video! Thanks! ✌️

Great video..thanks. About to attempt this myself. Very helpful.

Very informative video, thank you for sharing!

Nice one...outstanding music...

Nice work. Made a similar pad for my shed a few years ago. Wish I had gone the route you did and just used stone instead of tamping a base and laying pavers.

Appreciate the man hour estimates! That was actually really helpful😃👍🏼

Great video easy to follow ... Thanks !!!

You make it look so easy !

Wow 🤩 Amazing. Inspiring

That’s a lot of hard work and it looks like it was done right.

Wanting to do a fire pit area on sloped part of yard and this is super helpful; thank you!

great video. thank you

You know its diy when you use what you have. That snow shovel for gravel ❤👍

my snow shovel does double duty too...it helps with yard/leaf work in the summer. But as good as the snow shovel might be, a true sqaure/flat head metal shovel is much better suited to do that gravel work. With as much ground your removed, it almost looks like a raised shed deck, supported by concrete pillars would have been easier. well done. thanks and thank you for your service.

Great video!

Straight up inspirational. Well done Bro. SUBSCRIBED & THUMBS UP man.

Great video brothas...also, great music list!!!! 🔥🔥

Nice work.. I will be doing the same in the near future

Great video. I have a similar project for an 8x12 shed base. I was going to lay some paving slabs on top of the sub base but I'm think that isn't necessary really now.

Nice work

I am currently building a shed pad, Using a crushed gravel base and laying down pavers for the finished layer. Our slope runs opposite to yours (from front to back). What makes me nervous about finishing the pad below grade is what the water run off will do to the foundation over time. We are doing the opposite for this reason and building a small retaining wall with PT 4x4 to build up the low end rather than dropping the high end. Thank you for the video brother, I would be interested to know how the structure is doing currently.

Job Well Done! Looks Good Unc!

Great looking base! You guys r.eally know the meaning of hard work. I have a question for you.... What is your intention on dealing with the grade difference from the excavation on the fence side? I have the same situation with even a greater grade change

Nice vid.

Nice work, guys.

great job, but man that was a lot of work. Look forward to the next step.

Good job

Great video bruh. Thanks for posting. May I ask what you did with the removed grass and soil? I’m about to start something similar and looking for ideas. Thanks

Great video, thank you! And great results. As others asked, how are you planning to retain the dirt behind? I've seen similar pads that just add more of same dimension PT lumber on top of that rear wall up to the height of the dirt as a retaining wall.

Next time don't cut into the ground but instead increase the height of the lower side with more timber, soil and gravel. Even though you added gravel, the whole in the ground will cause all above water to fill in that hole with the pad. Outside of that it was done well.

That's the right job- fair play! No one can call you lazy or half arsed haha.

That trac tho!!!!!!

Hi again! I am in the middle of doing my site prep. I have most of the area dug up. Wanted to thank you for the tiller part. Bought a cheap electric one and it made the “digging” part a synch as I didn’t really have to dig. Just till and remove with shovel. Also, I wanted to know did you level the dirt area also and then add the gravel or did you sort of get the dirt area dug out and then pour gravel and level that?

I love that you included the amount of effort taken at the end. Both in terms of real days and hours per day. Gives a really good understanding of roughly we can expect if we’re doing this on our own! Only small thing I would add is a small disclaimer if this is your first time trying this project, or if you’re experienced already. This would help a bit more with “padding” the time on our end. E.g. if it’s your first time, I can expect it’ll roughly take me the same time but I’ll still pad it a bit.. but if you do this for a living I might need to pad it by a lot of extra hours or days due to my inexperience. Either way GREAT video!

Alright high speed! Nice video and dope beat...u looking like a full fledged 12 series aka Army Engineer...lol

Only thing I missed is how you figured out how much to dig to get site level

But how did you handle the high ground around the three sides?

Hi, This was really helpful. Can I ask why you used gravel instead of pouring concrete please? Is it better? Thank you.

Can we acknowledge that this man used a snow shovel instead of a flat or spade... You gosh dang ANIMAL!! GOAT status. Lol

How is the shed sitting higher then the gravel pad? Good video though helped me a lot.

Can you provide pictures of the area after a heavy rain?

Wow Nice Job Not sure you need a gym after that , you don't see people physically work anymore

Wow, great job. All by hand too. Skid steer would have saved time but not money.

How do you plan on retaining the soil?

Watching from the UK - you did not need to lay a membrane?

You just Encourage me to try and do this project myself

what is gonna keep the dirt wall from eroding in your gravel pad ?

Who needs a gym after that workout?

Where are you from? Good work bro. 👍

How did you get so much gravel for cheap?

After three years, do you have any drainage issues? Thanks!

You did put down a weed stopping membrane?

That's a lot of digging

Wow, you definitely went overboard. Lets see what phase 2 has.

Now, do a video for the necessary retaining wall behind the pad.

Wow

Think u shoulda stapled landscape fabric to inside of border to keep weeds out.

Can I ask what the rebar is for?

Hi its been a few years since this pad was built. Have you had any issues with it.. especially bowing out. I like that you used only one level of wood.

How has I held up? Any videos of it in use?

Where are the tie downs for the shed? Do you put those into the ground before adding the gravel?

You got +10 cool points for being Army

Do you think installing a weed barrier is a good idea under stone? Or just a waste of money?

I want to do something like this but I can see I’m going to have to hire pros. I’d have a heart attack trying to DIY this. Very enjoyable to watch though.

Pad looks good but what are you doing about the back and sides? Sooner or later that dirt is going to slide and be up against your shed walls.....not good.
