Watch the Japanese do this, it is called; Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, is a traditional Japanese wood-burning technique that has been used for centuries.13 It involves charring wood to create a textural surface that is beautiful to look at and offers practical advantages when executed correctly.3 The process involves charring the wood, cooling it, cleaning off any soot or burnt debris on the surface, and finally finishing the boards with an oil.1 Today, Shou Sugi Ban is an environmentally friendly way to preserve timber and, paradoxically, make it fire-resistant.2 The technique involves charring cedar boards, burnishing the burnt results with sandpaper and wire brushes, and then sealing the charred surface with natural oils such as Pure Tung Oil.0 Shou Sugi Ban has caught on recently as a treatment for contemporary exteriors and indoor furnishings alike.4 Accoya® is a combination of high-performance modified wood and an award-winning charred technique that enhances the exterior performance and aesthetic value of natural wood products.5

Good evening! This was just what I was looking for. Can you please share the dimensions of this shed or a material list of exactly what I need to buy to build this exact shed? Thanks Nick

@KoalityofLife Жыл бұрын

The outside dimensions are 8 foot by 16 foot, the roof is 8 foot tall on the tall side and 6 foot tall on the short side. The material list is a bit harder because I milled all this lumber out myself so the boards aren't exact to what you would buy in the store. The advantage to having my own mill and a lot of logs to produce my own lumber. The disadvantage is that to make plans I would have to figure out how many store bought boards someone would need to build this. What I can tell you is that a typical store bought 1x6 is only 5.5 inches wide so you would need more than 16 to do an 8 foot wall. Sorry I couldn't help more but hope your build goes great and thanks for watching. :)

That's really nice. I've been putting off similar build and now althought will not have so much wood in it, feel like going ahead. Please tell me how blue pine differes from East Texas pine?

I just know it's been growing there at least 100 years. Hopeful it is worth building with and wrassling back over here someday soon. Thank you so much for the video…

@KoalityofLife 6 ай бұрын

Blue pine is Ponderosa Pine that has been killed by the pine beetle. The pine beetle bores into the tree, in doing so the fungus the beetle has in its mouth turns the wood blue and the whole process kills the tree. Ponderosa Pine is not considered a building material. I believe the pine in Texas is Yellow Pine and is considered a building material so you should be fine. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. :)

If I built a woodshed, m firewood would be accessible from the back as well as n the front. I'd do this so I could get to the wood that is first in. It will be dryer and there is a chance it could be in the back for years unused. Maybe barn doors on the back with ventilation at the top under the overhang.

@KoalityofLife Жыл бұрын

I had thought about having a door on each end so that we could get to wood that might be from the previous year but if we have left over wood it wont be much and we can move it to the other end as we stack new wood in the back.

The angle was done by holding a board up against the 6X6 posts up under the 2X6 that the rafters will connect to and then marking the line from 6X6 to rafter, if that makes any sense at all.

Burning the posts is an old Japanese way of preserving wood called yakisugi. Burning the posts and then coating them in an oil helps to prevent mold, and rot while also being a deterrent for bugs. The utility poles you see have creosote on them, some of them also have tar on them to do the same thing, deter bugs and help prevent rot. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. :)

@electriclife7851 2 ай бұрын

Looks nice but you are skirting the line between a shed. I have read the firewood needs to be stored off the ground on a platform and that you need air flow if you are storing the wood for a long time. I think you have too many boards on the side. Your building looks more like a place for a 4 wheeler etc.

@KoalityofLife 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. I have been using this woodshed for 2 winters and have not had a problem. As far as I know firewood needs to be off mineral soil, I put gravel down inside the woodshed to prevent the firewood from being in contact with mineral soil. I could have installed a subfloor but it would have added to the cost of building a simple woodshed and a subfloor would give skunks and other rodents a place to burrow under and make into a home. If someone were to split and stack firewood in the spring the firewood would need more air flow to dry it out. The larger the gravel you use the more air can circulate under the firewood. I stack my firewood in the fall after it has had all summer to dry out. Hope this makes sense and thanks for watching. :)

@@KoalityofLife , yes, it supports much better.

@@harritoivonen7478 Ah, I understand now. In a traditional building I would put diagonal supports but this building the posts are set 2 feet into the ground so the earth keeps the posts supported from shear loads. The idea is to set the posts deep enough so they will not lean, this depends on the type of soil in your area and what you are backfilling with. :)

Ummmmmmm wood usually expands in the summer with the humidity and shrinks in the winter when it is drier. Where I live anyway.

Well, we’re I live, we get our rain in the winter and it’s hot and dry in the summer. Isn’t the world an amazing place.

@KoalityofLife 5 ай бұрын

Interesting. Where I live it's dry and hot in the summer and cold and wet in the winter so the wood shrinks in the summer and expands in the winter. What part of the country do you live in? Thanks for watching. :)

If you are looking at interior wood, it shrinks in winter because the house is heated and usually drier.

@KoalityofLife 5 ай бұрын

@@rf8driver Interior wood will also shrink if you have a ductless mini split as it will collect all the moisture out of the air inside your house, I know this because I just installed a ductless mini split in our house and the gap between the blue pine panels I put up on the walls grew a tiny bit bigger. But I think the previous statement was directed toward the wood shed build that is outside. Either way, learn something new every day. Thanks for watching. :)

Your statement about wood shrinking in the summer and expanding in winter is incorrect it is just the opposite the gaps will get wider in the winter and close up in the summer

@KoalityofLife 4 ай бұрын

I have had another person comment the same thing but here in my area the boards dry out in the summer and the gaps get bigger, then in the winter the boards get wet and expand making the gaps smaller. It must be different in different areas of the world. Where abouts are you from? Thanks for watching. :)

No air flow or light. This is a storage shed, not a wood shed.

That’s what I was thinking. He did a great job at building it, but you need lists of air flow for a wood shed. All in all, I did enjoy the video.

Why no overhang at rear so water off the roof doesn't rot out rear wall?

@KoalityofLife 9 ай бұрын

You can't see it in the video that well but the metal roofing hangs over the rear wall about 5 inches to keep water from running down the wall. Thanks for watching. :)
