Outdoor Tool Storage Unboxing and Assembly 

How long does it take to build?

@@garyvaldez6181 Well for me it took longer cause I was filming and had to do a bunch of site prep. It was really simple and very straightforward. I would still plan on a solid 4 hours, however it really depends on how proficient you are at following plans.

Ya gotta laugh at the absurdity of assembly instructions sometimes!!! Otherwise you’ll go bonkers!! Thanks for the comment!!

OUTSANDING!!!!!! Thanks so much for the feedback and I'm so thrilled you got what you were looking for from the video!! This just made my whole week!!

LOL... you're too kind my friend... thanks

Thanks so much man... appreciate that!!

Good tip for those reading this who live in snowy weather places... however... not much snowfall here in Florida, hahah!!

That's AWESOME... I love hearing stuff like this... thanks so much!!

You're the best!

Thanks man!! Appreciate it!

Happy to help!!

Thanks so much!! Welcome to my world, glad to have you!

Thanks so much man... really appreciate the concern, all is well except for the Florida summer keeping me out of the shop. Now that we're in to fall and the temp is coming down you should be seeing more frequent posts!!

You're so welcome!

So thrilled you found it useful and entertaining as well!!! Thanks for sharing the feedback!! 👍😁😃

Thanks for the support!!

I appreciate that, thanks for the feedback!!!

HAHAHA... thanks so much!! I appreciate it!!

Thanks so much!!

LOL... yeah... it happens that way sometimes doesn't it... thanks for the comment!

Thanks so much for the feedback... but it's been there through more than a few massive storms and no issue with drainage. Also, I never open that window (or any windows really, it lets the AC out!!). The overhang from the eaves is more than enough protection from direct rain!

Thanks my man!! And no, you have not missed it... he has not been named on the channel.. yet... that will be coming in a video in the next few weeks.

First... thanks so much for the comment and feedback, I appreciate it... Second... I honestly have no idea... I have not owned a bike in over 30 years LOL. I think it would depend in how the rack is mounted to be honest. If it was designed to hang on the wall, then maybe, cause there are places to mount shelving brackets, anything other than that would need more expertise with mounting bikes than I have. Wish I could be more help!

thank ya thank ya

Thanks!!

Thanks... that's a FANTASTIC username you've got!!

Uhhhhh.... hot water is on the left!! That’s about it!

I got it at Home Depot, the link to it is in the video description. The web site has the full interior dimensions and I used that to determine if it would be the right size! Hope that helps.

AWESOME!!!! Thanks so Much!!!

Most push mowers have the ability to have the handles fold up for storage... if that's the case with yours you should be fine... it's got more room inside than images appear.

Well to be fair I was filming while putting it together so it was not a good example of how long it takes... but if I wasn't filming I'd say it would probly take 2 hours or so depending on how proficient you are with following assembly instructions, and puzzles. It was really pretty simple, with the most difficult thing being getting the doors to line up. I hope that helps!!

Thanks for the question… I can only speak for my particular situation and because I was putting it on a foundation that was of different elevations I wanted to build it up so that it was completely flat which is why I did the base the way that I did. The bottom of this shed is plastic so it’s only going to be as strong as whatever foundation you’re putting it on if the ground where you’re putting it is solid and firm then go for it. Other people have risk of very High winds and need a solid foundation to secure the shed to so that it doesn’t get blown away in a tornado or hurricane … I hope that helps!!

Not in this case... the place where I have it is pretty sheltered from the high winds we get with big storms... I've had trash cans and things of that nature along this same side of the house and never had an issue with them flying away!! That being said, this unit has holes in the back and bottom for bolting it to an existing building or a secure base. The instruction book has a whole section on building a base for it.

I'm very pleased with this one!!

the location I've put mine is pretty well protected from big storms and I've got it loaded down with really heavy stuff so I'm not really concerned about it blowing away. However... there are places in the floor and in the back wall for mounting anchors to.

Hey, thanks so much for the comment… it was probly the special tool that came with the unit specifically for those bolts.

the dimensions of it in the box should be on Home Depot's web site under the shipping details.

Oh nooooo… that’s horrible!!! Sadly every batch of injection molded material is gonna have a few bad apples, but they should be caught by the Quality Assurance folks before they leave the factory. I’m sure the other ones you have are fine, but then again I have been accused of being overly optimistic at times!! That sucks, I’m really sorry that happened to you!!

@@BigLousWorkshop Thanks for your empathy Lou. I'm going back outside today to try to get a roof on. I'm no stranger to assembly either, but really don't like these illustrated instructions. They are suppose to send me new hinges, but I can't envision what good that will do. I was hoping you would have shown how to use those 'hooky thingies'. I just need to get this over with and get DANCING!! Have fun and thanks for the video! Blessings

I use Adobe Premier Pro ... it's expensive but as a film school grad I'm a bit of an Editing snob so for me it's money well spent!! But there are lots of other free editing suites out there. Jay Bates put out a video a while back on his Vlog channel talking about making the switch from Premier to a free one but I don't remember which one he mentioned.

Oh No... that's not cool... have you tried going through the manufacturer's website... most places now a days offer replacement hardware, might be worth looking into if you have not already done so!! Thanks for the comment and good luck!!

Oh totally... there are pre-drilled holes in the back for bolts specifically for that purpose!! But also there's plenty of room inside to build a free standing unit, which is what I'm intending to do at some point!!

It will get a little bit of water around the door if there's a REALLY bad storm, but for the most part yeah, everything inside stays pretty dry!!

The same can be said for wood a shed!! This style of storage is not really utilized for its security features but more so I don't have rakes and shovel's laying around the yard out in the elements. If security is an important feature to you then there are tons of other options for outdoor storage!!

Brother believe me I tried to show as much as I could... it was LITERALLY not possible to show how the hinges snapped on with enough space to put my camera tripod! As for the metal strip on the roof I did show it being drilled into place and and that was basically it. Let me know if you have any other questions about the roof and I’ll be more than happy to answer them for you

That is a fact

I was able to figure out the hinges with the manual and trial & error. But I had to come to this video to figure out where the EFF that metal strip attached to the roof, so thank you for this video Big Lou! I'm considering using a caulk gun and gorilla glue tubes to glue caulk every place where it attaches and all the little crevices for added structure integrity. I'm also in FL and the last thing i need is a thunderstorm blowing this baby down ;)

Every little bit of added strength would help... especially in some of the major storms... but if a big Cat 4 or Cat 5 rolls through this thing is toast no matter what!! Andrew or Charlie would eat this tiny little thing for lunch!! hahahaha

I tried my best to show as much as I could about the assembly process but if you’re referring to how the doors attach it was not possible for me to attach the doors and put my camera inside the shed to show how they attach at the same time they’re just was not enough room and for that I apologize.

I'm sorry... but I have no idea what this says.

it's like the T.A.R.D.I.S. ... bigger on the inside!! LOL There's more room in there than you might think, but in general no, I would not recommend this for Bike Storage!
