How to build a shed step by step Who's this popular new shed as you can see it's relatively flat cleared of 0:10growth and we started to dig holes for the footings worries concrete blocks 0:14over pads of compact and gravel that's what we're gonna do next 0:19I rented a plate compactor to help the gravel into uniform service and help 0:23friends and health hampering some elbow grease will also I like building sheds 0:29atop concrete blocks because they're inexpensive and easy to work with at 0:34this point I'm really just eyeballing the site for level and seeing how many 0:39blocks I'm gonna need spot it looks like the slow corner I'm gonna need about 0:43three if you feel like you have to go higher than three you should really 0:46consider doing some preliminary leveling work for the whole area or switch over 0:50to concrete piers to level the blocks are used the highest corner as a 0:55benchmark and then level out from there using a box being leveled clamped to a 0:58long straight board to make subtle adjustments I add or remove grab from 1:03the pad as needed again working my way around the perimeter from the highest 1:08point ok this is looking really good now that we got the foundation level we're 1:16gonna move on to star framing the floor let's look at the shed floor frame when 1:21you strip away the floorboards you'll see that each side of the floor frame is 1:24made from a pair of pressure treated for by force the whole perimeter of the 1:28frame locks together at the corners and the floor joists just drop into the 1:31notches joist hangers and other metal connectors are necessary because these 1:36Joyce rest on top of the four-by-four below although there are two not four by 1:41fours for the floor frame the wall assembly consists of matching top and 1:45bottom plates so for our first set of cuts will gang all six members and cut 1:52them together to cut my length I claim all the pieces together wash one hand 1:58and then trim the other end ok I've got my for my boys lay down clamp together 2:03one end flush the other end cut clean now I'm gonna work on line out my 2:07notches now this number can tend to be a little bit swollen when it's wet so I'm 2:11gonna mark from the center and work my way out to get a good fit I'm going to 2:18market the width of my notches using an actual four-by-four cut off with a mark 2:22center line I find the center of my stack of boards a line marking block 2:26describe each side of the cut off then i square of those marks across the width 2:30the sack then measure from the center line to find a location of the other 2:36notches and then repeat marking process I'm going to get the notches started 2:44with a circular saw that in the depth of cut to half the thickness of the four by 2:48force again don't assume the four by fours or standard three and a half inch 2:52square if the wood is wet and it likely will be going to be slowly just halfway 2:56mark accordingly then I made my first two passes with the blade just removing 3:01the market line I'm comfortable making this cut free hand but I saw guide or 3:06three piece of lumber can also be planted the staff to help keep online 3:09the rest of the passes are just a colorful ombre so it's easier to wait 3:15for no more than quarter range between curves otherwise it'll be difficult to 3:20not lose the claw hammer ok to come back through the router and actually clean 3:42them up and square up the sides for this I'm going to use some straight edges on 3:46either side 3:48you could use a scrap of two-by-four and scurried down if you don't have clamps 3:53I just find these faster to work with an agency I'm spacing is off to either side 3:58I measured the base of the router to the edge of the tub it and I'm gonna set my 4:03fences on either side of the not today at so that when I use my router I have a 4:07boundary to keep me from going off track 4:11ok lets the router method but if you don't have a big honking router you can 4:17do this the old-fashioned way with a nice wide chisel gonna be a little 4:20slower but just as well 4:31ok we're gonna set aside the 44 the top and bottom plates and the rest were 4:47gonna move over to those footings and we're gonna start assembling are pairs 5:01this project were using structural through pretty generic there may be a 5:06lot of different manufacturers so we're just going to Heidi's pairs together and 5:10pay attention to the crown of the board before you sampled beats and that means 5:14is sliding down the board and taking advantage of any natural arch and you #shed #garden #how #to #building #by #yourself #build #a #Shed #GardenShed #HowTo #Building #ByYourself #Yourself #How #BuildAShed
