Shed plans: dieter.me/product-category/pl... Building a shed using decking boards is a great way to save money. It's suprisingly how solid this shed actually is. #shed #woodworking #carpentry
Just to clarify: This was used as a temporarily work shed, so that's why there are no sheating on the walls, simple roof, and no foundation. However, it would work fine as a regular shed if you add sheating, a metal roof and a good foundation. Some people comment that this is 2x6 and not decking boards, which is completely wrong. These are close to 1x5, and they are pressure treated decking boards. These are the cheapest decking boards available here where I live, and they're half the price of 2x4's. This may of course not be the case other places in the world. The point was to use the cheapest lumber I could find to prove that you necessarily don't need "construction" lumber to make a shed. Finally, the shed is still standing, and have been through some heavy winds and rain without any problems. I'm soon taking it down for the winter.
I love watching your videos. I am learning all things wood, for home diy projects and small Sheds, Bunkies, Mini Garden Rooms, Smaller Pergolas, Easy Deck Builds are all I watch now. I love it. The easier someone makes it look the better, and no endless talking everything to the point with examples, like how you make your videos. Thank you love watching your example videos and hope you keep making more. ❤ from USA
I often start with a simple idea then overbuild the heck out of it then get annoyed when it all gets too complicated 😂 Thanks for the video showing that simple is best ❤
Dieter, that was fabulous! Your very pleasant guitar accompaniment to this simple and clever build was perfect. a LOT could be done with this simple, portable shed: one could put canvas on the walls and roof for some rainproof covering-- still keeping it portable. Or, as you said, put it on a foundation and clad it permanently. Cheap and very simple, what's not to like? Thanks for sharing that!
Very nicd shed, Dieter. I find that musicians usually excel at most other things besides music! I have played music on piano and strings for over 50 years and love to build things too. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this information. I have limited space at home and my grandchildren took over my garage and I used to work in my driveway for about 5 years. Last week I had masons make a 12’X15’ slab in my backyard which will be my future outdoor shed/workshop/man cave/kids fun zone. Lost likely the grandchildren will take over this area also. I might invest in a cordless nail gun, I still have a box full of hitachi nails and hitachi air powered nail gun. Thanks again for this.
Thank you for sharing a super helpful, excellent design, like someone else said it was modules easy to move around for one person to build it's the design I'm looking for, excellent guitar work as well
Great guitar accompanying the build, you are quite talented. I had saved money to replace my old shed with a new one this summer but as usual something went wrong elsewhere and it will have to be put off until next year. Your video gave me some great ideas as to how to shore up my old shed until I can replace it hopefully next summer. I can't tear it down because it is "grandfathered" as an existing building but if I can keep it upright and looking reasonably sturdy I can replace it next summer it over a long weekend and the city can't do anything about it. I had bought decking material to replace a goodly portion of the front porch but it turns out the handyman was lying and just wanted a job and was really angry that I had bought my own decking and walked away. I had my brother come out and double check my test of jumping up and down on the old decking and it didn't even bounce. My bother laughed at my rudimentary test but assured me the decking was fine with the exception of one board that has a slight crack that is only about 12 inches where it was nailed in along the length. I may just fill it in with epoxy and leave it for now as I plan to restain it. So now I have all this decking material sitting around since last summer. If I follow your method I can take the old shed apart when I have the cash and still have decking material that is long enough to replace decking elsewhere. Thank you very much for a great video. You've provided me with a solution to two separate issues.
This is how they make houses garages etc in USA/Canada..... using 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber ( 5 x 10 cm, 5 x 15 cm )... simple and quick. With a proper insulation and exterior protection, these houses are much better for living than concrete/brick houses. They do not last thousands of years, but are easily built, cheaper, and easily modified..... this is MY PERSONAL opinion so anyone who do not agree should restrain from starting a sort of argument/debate on this subject. Dieter you did a great job !!!!!!
I loved video, Great work. Here in the states, the big-box-stores, some of the preassembled sheds they're selling use 2"×2"s for the 'studs', and the corner braces get 2"×3"s😮. I stepped inside one of them (a 12'×12' model.). I felt sure that if was of a mind to do so, I would have little trouble kicking the back wall straight off of the thing. Not to mention I could build 2 of them the same size, and use real 2"×4"s, have faith they wouldn't blow down in a strong thunderstorm.
yes, the scribe method along with the template method seems to be the easiest build style for small structures, no calculating especially with roofs and angle cuts. nice job!
Just what I was looking for, to keep most snow off cords of wood and kindling - will build against shed. Like the canvas idea if we want more coverage.
Before starting to build the house, I will take your shed model for my temporary one which will be used as a working place. Nice job you did. Same material dimensions where I live and for a good price. Thank you!
i grew up as a auto mechanic by trade and can fix just about anything the not a Duracell battery but now drive big rigs (hate it), now i brought a old house which i had torn down and plan to rebuild a tiny home on very very soon, you clip gave me a great idea to pre build and take it apart to set up on site... thanks for the spark bud... great stuff!!!!
Jeg ser hver video av deg. Jeg er veldig imponert over arbeidet ditt og håndverket ditt. Om en uke skal vi til Norge (fra Tyskland) og bo der i tre måneder i feriehuset vårt. Arbeidet ditt er en inspirasjon for oss. Tusen takk!
Hello everyone, I hope you like the narration. It's not easy, but I will hopefully get better at it :) Feel free to ask any questions if anything is unclear.
Great Job in Using some 5/4 Decking Board to Build a Shed. There is always a Deal to Purchase these 5/4 Decking Boards at Home Depot. The Prices on the Decking Boards are a lot cheaper than 2x6 and they are Pressure-treated also. And also using the New Decking Board Style Screws is just like using Nails. Just need to Reinforce the Walls with some Cross Pieces and Double the Roof Rafters to Support Our Winter Snow Up Here in Canada.
Great, simple and relaxing video. I am planning to build something like this above my bunny’s hutch. I have never done it before but why not to try it 😄 it will be a different shape, more like a triangle. What did you use for the roof?
Hi An interesting build, and a well illustrated video. Can you please tell us the total quantity of material needed? How many boards, at what length? Thanks and yep like the guitar music too :)
Not Bad.. I love to use 5/4 decking boards here in the US where I can. That shed is going to get a lot of blowing rain inside. Owner may want to close in a bit around the top..say about 1/3 to 1/2 the way down. Good job, Bloke.
Yes the guitar is really good .. There are so many cuts to do and so much wood to buy But beautifully done. I was looking to see how to make a nice little glamping house
Looks great 🤙I was thinking you could have done with some bottom plates, to hold everything a little better together in the bottom - but mostly to keep the immanent water & moisture at bay from the frame construction. Nice video ✌️
