One of the best explanation videos out there. You have no idea how helpful your video was. I watched this like a million times while building my shed ground up. Thank you Sir...

Your narrative was clear and concise, with good video shots. You packed a lot of information into 11 minutes. As others have pointed out, and title states, purpose was to show what to expect with a HD shed kit. You made the quality issues clear with your comments and film shots. Great job!

Great video. I like the fact that you were straight to the point. Most people that make videos spend more time giving the long boring background of why the sky is blue and just drag it out to long.

We recently put together a shed kit from Lowe's. It was a similar experience to what you're showing here. The quality of the wood in these kits leaves a lot to be desired. For our next building, we're going to be using pallets and other reclaimed wood. The quality of the wood won't be any better (or worse) than what comes in the kits, but it will be free.

I built the exact same shed. It's been up about 10 years now and still looks good and solid. Not bad for the money.

I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.

GREAT TIPS! I found out the same things you did on this build. Not enough supports built in. I'm adding additional studs to walls and a few cross supports to help stiffen and sturdy it in the Texas storms. Will be adding ridge vent to mine as well.

As always start with a good foundation. You can additional structural support and nailing pattern depending on where you live considering wind and snow loads. A metal roof would add structural strength as well. For example, I purchased a cheap Harbor Frieght greenhouse. I put it on a sturdy foundation and it has survived strong winds and snow up to ~3.5 feet before I clean it off!

I'm glad you posted this video, it does a good job of showing what is required, how to shave off time and get a basic shed assembled. For those looking at this particular kit, there's several things to consider. If you're trying to save money, that's great, but without the essential needs that this shed lacks, this kit will rot away in a few years. With no drip edge, the water will wrap around the shingles and destroy the roof materials and the edging, eventually penetrating the shed and causing a serious mold issue. The gable vent idea will help with mold control, just make sure you back the vent with some screen material to keep unwanted bugs and critters out. The addition of extra floor joists is a superb idea, however I would consider running screws into the wood. Over time, as the wood weathers and the materials settle, it will pull apart, same with the flooring materials. Many of these shed kits call for nailing the rafters together, which again, will separate over time. Spend the time to screw them together. Lastly, this shed should be secured to the ground with anchors. Wouldn't want one storm to ruin all your hard work. Thanks for sharing!

Spot on. I've been builder for 20 years. Carpenter actually. Handyman and several other trades. Primarily a carpenter. This is a hack job. And wonder why Home owners get buyers remorse.. The basics are here. But ide say another 300 in materials and TIP YOUR WORKER for his knowledge. As long as he educates you and proves his recommendations. Otherwise. If falls apart in 3'-5. That's bv you're a cheap ass

Thanks for the video. I was honestly looking into one of their sheds. After this video I think I'll stay with my stick built idea.

Thank you for the video. I thought about buying the Home Depot shed, but after looking at your video, I think I will just make one myself from scratch.

when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.

Ya I built one by myself in two days and it held up under storms and 13 inches of snow, no rot no problems. Its a great shed.

I used the roof plywood for the floor and put a metal roof on with some scrap that I had. My kit came with screws not nails, went together easy. I like it. I put vent in front and back, (over door) and a window in the back (small RV window, scape)

Thanks Adam, we've watched this video numerous times during our build. Thanks for the "lessons learned"!

Perfect video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

My Prebuilt Shed came with no Vent also. I paid good money for it. used to get very Hot in the summer I just used one of those Plastic 12 x12 inch gable vents for a house for max air flow works great and looks nice

Just built this shed yesterday. Turned out good

excellent yes tutorial ! clear and straight to the point Thank You !

Thank you for throwing the light of knowledge on to my darkness of desire and dreams.... Next time I see these sheds at HomeDepot's parking lot, I AM GONNA RUN. Really thank you not to waste money and needless to say, time... for this thing.

Just purchased and thank you your video helped me. Going to assembly next week.

Hopefully this will help my husband. We have the Cumberland home 10 x 16. He's ready to get rid of it like the very first guy.

I replaced an old rusted metal shed with this unit. I got it at HD for half price. I pretty much assembled it myself in piece meal fashion. All told about 10 hours into it. It’s been holding up just fine the past 12 years. Yes will I build one from scratch when this one finally needs to be replaced but it’s in great shape so I’m leaving it be.

I have a built a few of these and they are quite adequate for your needs. However, you need to buy a few extra 2x3s and 2x4s because there are always some warped ones. I used 6x6s and thicker OSB for the floors just to beef it up. Use a nailer if you have it because who like to hammer every nail! Remember none of these are ever aquare, so patience is a virtue

Ive got alot of experience and know how with shed building, and in all honesty, i think even i would struggle to put all of this together correctly. It honesty seems easier to get some savvy with knowing how to build sheds, then just build the thing from scratch

You are very clear and concise. You set good expectations and explain well.

I got a left over kit at my HD for $325. Took me 10-12 hours and with a little help from my wife and it was together. I added a few extras for support and it suits my needs. I needed something in a hurry cuz the old metal shed that came with the house when I bought it collapsed and that’s what this was. My next shed will be from scratch.

Great job. I would add a few things. 1 a drip edge on first row before shingling plus a ridge vent on top to let hot humid air out in summer time.

I looked at our lowes lineup of sheds just the other day. I noticed on one shed the door was made with staples holding trim to warped thin plywood. The walls and frame were held together with nails. I live in Hurricane country and I expect my shed to still be standing in (my) backyard after the hurricane gets done beating the p!ss out of it. After IRMA went through it was still sitting there undamaged. The house had no electric for several days but the shed was fine. I prefer to take the time to build a shed using quality wood screws, (no nails, and no staples), quality plywood and siding, 2x6's and 2x4's, and hurricane straps.

You need to install metal drip edging around the roof under your shingles. It keeps water from running around the shingles and onto the decking. It’s cheap and very easy to install. It’ll save your roof and it also makes a more professional looking job.

I wish i knew someone like you, skilled and knowledgeable in framing. I would love to build this myself with a good friend.

Good video with valuable info. However, I've framed a couple small houses and sheds before -- including this one with a friend recently -- and a waffle-faced framing hammer (21-ounce Dalluge) is all I used. I didn't miss the nail gun at all.

Thank you, very helpful indeed!

Thanks for the excellent video on the Home Depot Princeton! I just built one and frequently referred to your video. I beefed up around the doors and the back wall and did a plywood floor. The shed isn't as quite as sturdy as one built with 2x4s 16" on center but should be more than adequate for garden tools etc.. Just got the shingles on and it looks great. After generous.caulking and paint I expect it to last many years. PS. Don't be discouraged by all the haters.

Nicely done... great video!

Thanks for the informative video! I wasn't thrilled with the initial appearance of those sheds and looking at how terribly designed they are, I'm definitely going to look into other options. Regarding the roofing, there should be a proper lining under the singles. The first row shouldn't be reversed. You should cut the tabs away. That's so that the tar line is now at the bottom, which secures the first visible row and keeps the shingles from blowing away. The ridge cap should be done by cutting at the tab lines so you'd have the entire shingle cut into thirds. That allows you to treat it like the rest of the roof by nailing on the tar line and overlapping, which adheres one piece to the next and protects the nail head area. It also means better spacing so less nailing. Also, just go end to end.

@jgclarke0352

Good tips but meh, if u don't have the special first shingle you can just flip a normal one like he did, it works fine. Only thing I'd say is to put down drip edge, but on a shed it's not absolutely essential. Just going end to end on the rise is simpler but I do like the lok of going from both ends to the middle. Just make sure you tar those nails in the middle of your ridge cap and you should be fine.

You did a really good job on this video. One of the very best I've seen on you tube. Thanks!

Looks good my mom got a big barn from them hired them to put it up they had to paint it twice rained messed with paint some Home Depot had it painted again no charge

New sheds are made very cheaply. I purchased a $700 vinyl 8x10 which I have had for over twenty years. Its walls and ceiling are 2" thick! Is has stood through many storms and hurricanes here in Florida. No wonder they stopped selling it.

Great information! Thanks.

Yesterday I built that same Rubbermaid shed @10:35. Got it from a guy that bought it new but couldn't but it together, $200!

Very informative, helps a lot!

Very well explained! Yep, it should be up on cement blocks that fit into 2x4 as called for! Because if a flood happens a person will regret 💦 water leaks into the shed.... They also have plastic mounts that fit into 2x4s like cement blocks have.. good video... I would NOT build anything on flat ground... 😎🐼🐼😎

You did an excellent job of preparing us DIY folks. I live in the high desert area of Calif and have built one similar to this one as it was an 8x10 unit. I have just purchased the Princeton model you have here for $499.00 before tax. It was returned to my local Home Depot because the customer was not aware that the floor and roofing was not included. All parts were there except for the paper instruction book, (they had the pieces on 3 different carts). I down loaded it from Handy Home Products with no problem. I will not print it out though, it is 52 pages!!!!

What I figured seems to be true. I would be measuring cutting and nailing everything anyway so why buy a shed kit for double, sometimes triple the price of what I would spend just building my own Shed from scratch? So that's what I did. It came out awesome. And with the extra savings, I went ahead and built me a 16 x 18 instead of a 12 x 12. Before doing so I knew basic measurements and generally new how to use Electric Tools. And if I can do it anybody can do it. You learn as you go. There are a few things that I would have done differently but one major tip that I can give is to make sure you are starting off from a true Square from the foundation. That will determine everything. If your foundation Square measurement is off even by a few inches in you will notice it going up all the way through the building. Measure twice, cut once.

Thanks for sharing. I wish I had watched your before deciding on mine - a Majestique 8x12 shed..... Here's what I learned and my lessens might be beneficial for others too... The Home Depot video claimed it takes just a day to build, and the brochure implied everything you need is there. But that can't be further from truth. It has already taken me four full days of work, and I have not yet completed all the four side walls; and I'm pretty handy and have all the necessary power tools, and two boys who helped me when needed. Here the main issues I had encountered: The floor panels is not include, as well as the 12 ft. 4x4 beam to put the floor frame on. these alone will cost you more than $200. Also absent are the singles, another $100 - $150 depending on which brand you choose. Except the floor frame, everyone piece of 2x3 or 2x4 are made from the cheapest and softest material. Some of them are severely twisted. I tried to use a 2-ft long pipe wrench to twist 3 of them to straight position and use several 3-1/2 " long screws to hold them in place. But the wood is so soft, not even the screws could hold the position. One of the 84" side beam for door frame is so twisted at a 20-degree angle, I don't know how I can possibly straighten it. I ended up using only screws instead of nails. If not even screws would hold the soft wood pieces together, the supplied nails will hold far less. So a strong wind during storm season will likely collapse your shed. I strongly recommend replace all the nails with good quality screws with T-25 star end, not the included Philip screws. To be fair, the design is pretty good and the size of components are quite precise. For a crew armed with air nail guns, who do such assembly everyday, maybe one day could be enough. But I doubt a quality foundation is even possible, and if you can trust the bare nails through the super soft wood to hold your shed together for long. If I were to do it again, I could go and buy better quality 2x4 and 2x3s and cut the pieces myself. It will likely cost you not more than purchasing the set on palette.

Thank you for sharing taking the time to show us what to do and not to do and most of us would agree not to purchase one of these sheds

Not that it matters being a shed, the APA Sturdi Floor is usually labeled "this side up". This label makes it easy for the installer of Sturdi floor to keep the tongue and groove proper especially when they are asymmetrical and usually has a better grade of wood fiber for wear surface and denting ratings versus the "back" side that is usually a little rougher. Again, in home construction it is kind of big deal, but sheds...eh! Some don't pay much attention to it but steep roofs we usually install rough side up for APA OSB sheathing for traction but low pitch not much difference either way when it comes to APA sheathing.

Good video!

My neighbor has one of these. Looks like the same size. It's a couple years old and it's pretty solid. People complaining about the 2x3 studs are ignorant. It's not like you're trying to hold up a 5,000 pound house roof. People complaining about the OSB are the same type. It's certainly no replacement for plywood but it's way better than the stuff from 20 years ago.
