I created this channel to promote my marine construction company in Washington State. Now I'm semi-retired, living on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, and working as a marine consultant in the US, and a photographer.
I lost a arm 12 years ago and i use duck or gorilla tape to hold the screws in and then put the nuts on and tighten i like the clamps and stuff to to hold it together good job i haven't started mine yet im gonna watch your video i don't have a camera
@@riparianlife97701 well wish me luck I’m gonna level out the soil and put the frame down and the floor kit and pore cement and level it out for my floor
@@Pingaheimer Right. No one can do the things you can't do. I literally did it while filming with one hand and talking. In this video. It took me 8 hours to build the shed. No one was there to help.
@@Emly121 Thanks. I didn't know it would be such a hit. I hope your kit hasn't been damaged in handling. Remember to save any damaged panels for the back.
Mine leaks … after a hard rain we have puddles of water to the left of the door and in front of the right side door. Trying to come up with some way to seal the doors when there shut.
James! This is the best video for these sheds that I've seen! I wish I found it before I finished my shed! lol Those short bolts and screws were a pain indeed.
@@shawngilbert5199 There are 4 locations in particular, where you have to put a machine screw through a seal, two ridge pieces, two roofing sheets, and the ridge beam, then try to get a nut on from beneath. Nearly impossible.
OSB plywood is not a match for damp conditions. The moisture coming from underneath is going deteriorate the flooring in about 5 yrs. or less depending on exposure to rain water.
I bought one of these off Ebay. Cheap Chinese crap from Guangzhou. Some parts of the instruction were a right old riddle, like the door runners / channels and door assembly of the doors. Got it all done using the supplied hardware did a few bits of redrilling where 3 or four parts met and holes didn't quite line. Up the floor frame is absolutely preposterous just like you I looked as it and thought: hell no. I wish they'd put that material cost into extra panel thickness! I'm keenly waiting for it to rain now as I want to see how waterproof I managed to make it. I used heavy polythene between the subfloor and floor of my shed to stop moisture evaporating up through my shed from the ground beneath. I already built mine then watched your vid after! Surprising how much time it takes to put these together but they are actually pretty solid if rather easy to dent!
BTDT once. Never again. If building a good floor like yours might as well just spend twice as much on lumber and have it all wood, I have a 10x10 wooden shed. Going to add 12 feet to back and change to gambrel style roof (for loft space). Think will be able to do it for 900ish dollars. Been gathering wood for year or so. Next month I start assembling.
Forgot to mention, all of your advice is spot on tho. If I were doing another, I would build footish tall walls to set shed on. They too low for me. Made my head hurt!🤕
Wow! Thank you, James, for your video! I am 75 of age and hoping that I can do some of the work by myself. I did the floor frame yesterday and today I searched You Tube for a one-man video and there you were. I watched your video, I knew that I should watch it to learn some of the tips you used, to accomplish your one person build. Wow! Thank you for sharing! Great job! God bless!
Hey! James I bought a new 8 By 10 metal shed and I put the same flooring down as you did but over time The flooring got wet from water getting underneath the shed running onto the floor and it eventually rotted and caved in!!... could you please let me know what I did wrong?... thanks and please reply back..
i built mine on a bunch of "uneven" concrete bricks instead of a concrete slab.... the holes did not want to match... some holes were obviously not m fault. and the instructions did not make sense. arrow.
What a beautifully done book ru-vid.comUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
Thanks so much for sharing this video It was extremely helpful to me I purchased the larger screws and bolts as suggested before I started the project You are correct They made all the difference in the world!
Amazing footage James. I just found out about your channel through a comment response that you sent to me. I never saw Belmont Park from this height. It really gives me a greater perspective as to what San Diego looks like in this area. Fantastic shot of the Giant Dipper. Love that coaster~ Rob/Boston
I put one of those arrow sheds together just like that over 10 years ago and used rubber roofing washers instead of those plastic things and they have lasted better than those plastic things which I used some of them at the end because i ran out of the rubber roofing washers and used plastic ones that came with the kit . The plastic ones have broken . The cheap door roller guides have broken also The roof is rusting out and is brown with rust 10 years and it is mostly garbage
I wish I had seen this video before I started putting my shed together! Oh yeah, the hardware is a PAIN!!! I am still trying to figure out how I am going to get the last few screws in my last roof panel because I am just too short and I only have a 6' step ladder. May have to hire a tall skinny young man to finish it.
hello, hope you can reply to me. our previous owner has this shed in the backyard. i want to replace the roof. do you recall if those metal supports are enough to hold 1/2" plywood and then metal roofing?
Oh gosh, no. The shed is so incredibly flimsy, the included roof is about all it can hold up. Why don't you skin it with something light, like very thin Aluminum sheeting? Getting on it to attach anything is going to crush it instantly.
What kind of screws did you use to screw your floor frame down with and would that be considered as anchoring? Any type of help would be appreciated.......
Great hints fella' I got my shed months ago! but ended up ill and had to get my gallbladder out so on the road to recovery, i Have watched a few videos on utube, your seems to be most informative regarding the change of screw, I have wrote all your data down regarding the screws, Thanks.
I got the 10x8 it said 189 pounds but it feel like 300 pounds> Its really heavy I got it on sale today. So i went a head a bought it. Going to use it for a well house and storage. I hope i can get a riding lawn mower in there, and some shelves and some things in there. Yep i going to have to do it all myself to! But i want a cement floor ect That another 5 days to it. Waiting for the concert to cure
Yeah, there is. I tried it, couldn't get across all the Sentri lanes in time, ended up in a Sentri lane by mistake, and was detained for 2 hours. I ended up getting Sentri later.
