I'm also concerned that the threaded rods could settle into the base poles over time because there is nothing grounding them out. By hammering them instead of turning them in, you've blown out the wood that could be holding the threads. I don't see it falling over but it could eventually fall out of plumb and put additional stresses on the joinery.
I hit them down till they bottomed out in the hole. It's been 2 years now and I have not noticed any movement yet only time will tell. Thanx for watching
I think I see what you're talking about. That hillside could shift/erode over time, which could put pressure on the back wall. Without stabilizing the hillside behind your shed, you might have problems.
Great carpentry work! But, I cannot see how the foundation will last. In that corner where you had to reposition the telephone pole base, the 1" all-thread looks like it might be too long to sustain the weight it will need to take to hold up that corner for a long time. And you don't actually have the all-thread rods anchored into the telephone poles. The weight of the shed will give you some stability, but your floor frame isn't really attached to anything, and you may have significant shifting, which might lead to foundation colapse. Not trying to say you didn't do a good job because your carpentry work on those joints where your fastened all of the beams together was great! Just wondering if you did all that work without installing a stable enough foundation?
thanx or watching. i understand where you are coming from but 1st of all my structural engineer has been to see it and thinks it's all fine. second I will be putting up a wall under that part to help incase it does shift. thanks again for watching I really appreciate it!
@@avromweisz as long as the tensile strength holds up over time (settling, shifting, and weathering). Just a suggestion, I would do something with the embankment behind it to prevent erosion. Maybe that's what the drain is for that you mentioned? To be on the safe side, I would still put a retaining wall up. It might be a hassle to install after you built the building, but in the long run, you might just save a potential issue. Just a thought!
Given its size I wouldn’t say there are a lot of mistakes. This is a very nice build in many ways and the timber frame aspects add a lot of strength. The wood posts in the front will likely rot sooner than later but the shed can be jacked up cement blocking added. It seems like the location consists of a lot of shelf rock so it might be hard to work.
