"I really have no idea what I'm doing".... I have no idea what I'm doing either and I hope i can replicate your build. This is great. Thanks for sharing.
The whole weight of the roof is being supported by the screws holding the top stringers to the posts. Also all those screws are right at the very ends of the stringers. Those stringers should be either notched into the posts or on the top of the posts. The roof should be supported by direct wood to the ground and not totally relying on the sheer strength of the screws. With wind, weight and time those screws will loosen and cause issues. Just a thought.
Thanks for the advice! I made a few changes after the video was made to add angle braces and bolts to each stringer and post in addition to the screws 😂
@@jonwage do you ever plan on enclosing it? I think you might have eluded to it in the video. Just wondering. Looks bad ass! I wasn't trying to be critical in my comment, just trying to give my worthless two cents lol.
@@screwfist it is fine I know I’m not an expert and I considered notching the posts for the stringers to set on but it was more effort than I wanted to put in to it for what it is. I don’t think I will close in the sides. It keeps my stuff plenty dry and I like being able to access the sides because I can back the tractor up to the sides to attach and detach my attachments.
Your front and rear stringers will bow eventually, from your rafters weight, especially the sp as n you have, you could add additional stringer and bolt then to ground post, every rafter put a block between every rafter , your ground post should been notched to support the weight of your Rafters, just like the same system as building a deck, all rafer on top of post. Sometimes we learn buy doing . Good luck
Thanks for the video, I am currently wanting to build a wood shed, obviously won't be as big as this, probably 8x24 but looking for ideas. One question is those posts appear to be 6x6s but wouldnt notching the posts be better? Then the weight of the roof would actually be supported by the posts? Unless I am seeing something wrong your entire roof is actually being held up by nails and not the actual structural support of the posts. Seems notching would be be better and then just have nails to keep them in place but they wouldn't actually be bearing any load.
This is what I want to do wish you'd have given more diy construction info, like where did obtain the long tin panels from. Would rather have that than on your garden side just saying. How did you do it?
This is exactly what I'm looking for! I'll make mine taller. My horse trailer is the tallest thing I have. Did you have to get a permit? I think where I am I have to get a placement permit for an ag building. Thanks this is very helpful!!
Looks good, just a thought, I would certainly come back and through bolt a couple 1/2" carriage bolts where each header ties in with your post, will handle the entire roof assy vertical well, good job.
yeah...or the stringers should be notched into the posts...or even put blocks or off cuts under those areas ( nailed/screwed into the posts ) to give additional support
Make sure to put weed cloth down before putting the gravel. Its not so much for weed control but more so the gravel doesn't sink into the ground and basically disappear over time.
Special type of screw with a rubber gasket so that it is sealed.

It is still standing lol it snowed/iced a little bit in middle Tennessee this last winter and it held up fine. I just installed electrical now too so I can keep chargers on my tractor in the winter. I just posted a new video with some video of the barn recently.
A little bit. I added some braces and lag bolts which helped a little bit. Good enough to keep my equipment dry and I'll get enough time out of the shed relative to how much money and time I spent.
I dug the hole with a post hole digger attachment for my tractor. I put a little gravel at the bottom of each hole for the post to set on. Then filled around the post with 2 bags of concrete.
@@jasonnhauser nope. I just put some gravel at the bottom to sit the post on and then poured the dry concrete around the post. I’m sure premixing it is better.
This video just gives a basic idea of how you can throw a lean to together which might help if you have NO idea where to start, but that's all and it could be way shorter. Spends 1:20 minutes on the introductory drone (?) shot. Wastes far too much time watching to the first sheet of metal get loaded on the roof. No instruction on how deep the post holes were, how the size was calculated, I think those are 6x6 posts but nothing said about it. No way I'd be going up on that metal roof on my butt or my knees. Not nearly enough bracing under that metal for that. In fact I think that roof needs a lot more structure and he may even mention that? Eek.
Leave it to someone to pick apart his video... is he a professional videographer?... doubt... was he merely trying to give ppl an aide about to he built his...yes.... I've emailed him twice and he's been kind enough to respond to a stranger...both times.... my suggestion.... post a video of YOUR expert pole shed...... and yeah and lets see your tractor........I welcome your reply
