Are you able to put a list of the materials used, the link doesn't work for me in the UK🫣

@b.lemire7453 3 месяца назад

It seems like every video I watch on building just about anything outside shows level land. Finally a video that tackles the problem of sloped land. Thank you!

@EverydayShed 3 месяца назад

Heck yeah, having a little slope is the reality for most of us 👍.

Great video, and series. I've watched them all as of 08-14-2024. I'm going back now and rewatching them again. I read the comments here and didn't see the link for the Pressure Treated treatment you used for the PT cuts on the 4x6s. I'd like to get some. Thanks

Something like this would do the job... amzn.to/3M7FxXt

@questioner1596 4 месяца назад

Another option for building on a hill is to make a wooden platform, but you need to size the floor joists to handle the load. An advantage is that you can jack it up to level after each winter.

@EverydayShed 4 месяца назад

I have seen some of those which can be a nice option 👍

Yeah, there is no shortage of hard labor in this one, especially in the summer 😅

@Hammer.J.Helmer 3 месяца назад

Unless that is ground contact lumber, it is going to rot. It's a great frame, but unfortunately pressure treated lumber isn't as rot resistant as it used to be. You should have used railroad ties. it will last for a few years, but then you are going to have rot issues.

@EverydayShed 3 месяца назад

💯 correct!!! It’s just though finding rail road ties around here.

@Hammer.J.Helmer 3 месяца назад

@@EverydayShed they are also heavy as boulders. I don't like to be that guy in the comments, but it's disappointing just how fast PT lumber rots with any soil contact. If you're in a dry climate (that was red clay, I'm thinking tennessee, or SC or GA...) it may last longer, but I made some raised flower boxes out of PT that lasted about 2 years and were totally rotted out.

@dwclharris 2 месяца назад

Question? Can you build the shed on top of the leveling pad 4x4’s or 6x6’s so the outside wall boards hangs over allowing rain water to drain away? Excellent video explaining everything well. Thanks

@EverydayShed Месяц назад

I see where you are going with this... however, having a "buffer" of gravel around the shed helps with drainage and stops the vegetation to grow near and underneath the shed.

@MF-uw9mh 5 дней назад

Question: you said something like when your pick " breaks 5.5 inches of the finish grade its time to step up to another level of digging." Do you have a rule of thumb for how much deeper to dig every time you step up to make it easier at the finish? Thank you for the video.

@EverydayShed 5 дней назад

Not really a rule of thumb, but I prefer to have the lumber about an inch buried in the ground. My thoughts it that it will help stay in place after the backfill.

@thenexthobby Месяц назад

Looks great. Can I concrete the floor instead? I'm aware that if I wanted concrete, the framing might instead be built on top of it, not surrounding it. Just want to know what my options might be. Thanks.

@EverydayShed Месяц назад

Yes you can concrete. Its just a higher cost for concrete. Thanks for watching!!

@Jgood22 6 месяцев назад

Why the three board sections at the bottom of the top of the slope instead of one full board?

@Hardpee789 6 месяцев назад

Probably for drainage.

@EverydayShed 6 месяцев назад

Good question! Although, it does help with drainage, using three smaller sections instead of one full board saves us money. That first section would be completely buried and these boards are pretty expensive nowadays. 🛠️👍

@justinjonbaugh 5 месяцев назад

Why no gravel under the sides and top sections? And why no gravel behind the downhill side? Wouldn't these improve drainage and lead to a longer lasting result?

@EverydayShed 5 месяцев назад

Gravel are great for drainage, the more you add the better it is... Great point, i'll keep that in mind for the next time I do another pad video... Thanks for watching. 👍👍

@fluffybuht 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for this video and the subsequent series. Can we start a discussion of why one might prefer to do a gravel pad rather than post-in-concrete footers? Is it only because of the possibility of moving the shed down the road?

@EverydayShed 5 месяцев назад

Yes! That is the primary reason, having the ability to move later on. Also, this video helps those interested in building a pad and having a shed delivered. Other alternatives are full concrete pad, but that is much more costly… I pretend to do a video on each option in the future to help on the decision making… thanks for watching!!

@JaredIsham 10 дней назад

What about wood rot for the wood that is below ground? Would there be a way to start with cinder blocks as the base below the dirt? 🤔

@EverydayShed 10 дней назад

Anything touching the ground will accelerate the rot even with the ground contact pressure treated postes. We have used Flex Seal in the past to give a rubberized coating and I know others have using roofing tar.

@JaredIsham 9 дней назад

@@EverydayShed cool - thanks. I had a thought of putting cinder blocks as the base level and then securing the wood on the top of them.

@sevian3066 Месяц назад

What's the benefit of the joists sitting right on the gravel versus putting them on 4x4 posts on concrete standoffs?

@EverydayShed Месяц назад

The benefit of a pad is that it helps on drainage around the shed, second the skids being laid directly on the gravel, helps distribute the weight of the shed. There is a smaller chance to sag over the years. However it does come with a much higher investment cost and labor…. I have done blocks and it works pretty well, just keep in mind over the years, the ground may shift and you may have to te-level your blocks and shed.

@rotorhawg8052 9 дней назад

Question. Going to build one of your sheds in my daughters yard. She has an enclosed area next to her house enclosed by a fence. About how much room do I need to leave around the foundation/structure to still be able to put up the walls?

@EverydayShed 9 дней назад

Hey there.. there are 3 things to consider, One, you can build as close as you want, if you build the wall first and then just set it in. Just like i built this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vJFawNjVA-w.htmlsi=cSbExeqGZQX3E79n Second, you need enough room for drainage around, it all depends on your back yard, i left one feet around this shed. Lastly, consider the county and city rules for set back, some requires 5-10 feet... Thanks for watching.

@boogalooter 2 месяца назад

Why the weed barrier on the whole pad? Would weeds grow through the shed where there's no sunshine? I would think putting it around the perimeter would be enough.

@EverydayShed 2 месяца назад

One of those things that doesn't cost too much more to just do the whole thing. 👍

@connordixon1428 5 месяцев назад

For a newbie I was wondering what type of drill bits needed for the rebar

@EverydayShed 5 месяцев назад

Great question!!! I used a 5/8" drill bit...

@markpinther9296 5 месяцев назад

You mentioned links or plans etc that would be in the description but I dont see those. Maybe I missed them!

@EverydayShed 5 месяцев назад

Sorry, but we are still working on the plans and material list… it should be available together with the last video of this series, so stay tuned!! Thanks for watching !!! 👍

@shanefranz5481 3 месяца назад

How deep do you need the rebar into the ground to hold the weight?

@EverydayShed 3 месяца назад

Only a foot or so,... Look this way, the rebar is meant to hold all the boards together, we drive it in the ground just to keep in place. the weight of the gravel will keep the "box" in place.

@newsview7844 2 месяца назад

I would only caution that if it's touching ground it should be pressure treated wood. Choosing the right wood is important. As an alternative to the wood, what about using cinder block with rebar and Quickcrete cement instead of the wood?

@EverydayShed 2 месяца назад

For the cost and convenience we always just go with the pressure treated lumber 👍.

@sampei6934 5 месяцев назад

Good evening, What dimensions are the beams used to make the platform?

@EverydayShed 5 месяцев назад

Hey! It is 4x6 pressure treated lumber... 👍

@stevesaunders6672 4 месяца назад

you need to tamp the dirt to compensate for the settling, Your rebar is not supposed to penetrate through the bottom timber into the dirt it rusts the rebar and promotes wood rot!

@EverydayShed 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback!

@Hammer.J.Helmer 3 месяца назад

those are fiberglass rebar, they won't rust.
