I have one of these lean to sheds. Mine is a 4x8 foot model. It’s cool it’s also my mini studio. Insulted the walls and all. Cool little personal space to have. I painted mine white as well because I was considering the heat. White reflects it so it probably reduced heat transfer a little.

This is a less intimidating approach for those of us trying to plan a shed build for the first time. We can see the simplicity of the structure easier.

Amazing job.

As part of adding a screened porch, we had our shed replaced - the grubby, rickety metal shed that held the bikes and garden equipment. However, as the new shed took shape - designed and painted as a mini-me of the house - it morphed into a she-shed for potting, furniture painting and crafting. Oops, bikes don't fit! Now I'm planning a 4x6 shed beside the driveway dedicated to bikes and long handled garden tools (they aren't pretty enough for the big shed, LOL). Your plan is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the clear, concise demo!

Nothing says spring like a well built garden shed. Very nice work. I have heard some people say the the drip edge should be tight to the fascia board, some say it should be spaced off. Do you have a opinion on this theory, or have you ever heard of this ? Thanks, and God bless

@WoodshopMike

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you sir! I’m glad I knocked it out before the dog days of summer too. That side of the house gets baked in the afternoon 🥵 I always keep the drip edge tight against the flashing. Since it flares out a bit at the bottom the surface tension of the water should break before droplets could roll back and sit on the fascia boards and cause water damage. Also by keeping the drip edge tight it discourages wasps etc from building nests. God bless you as well

Great project and explanation! I have a question about the water protection. Did you just use the primer over the OSB?

@WoodshopMike

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The only OSB I used was for the roof sheathing (it didn't get painted since the shingles were covering it. The sides of the shed, but that's probably obvious). The siding is R-10. That and the trim were all primed and painted. Does that answer your question? Thank you for watching!

Turned out great. Just curious, it looked like you could have gone bigger where the shed is located. What was your thoughts on determining that size shed to build?

@WoodshopMike

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, I could have made the shed a bit wider, but about 2' from the front the ground slopes away. I really just needed this shed for my air compressor and that's the main thing that drove the dimensions👍

Nice little shed. I would have done the roof differently though. The felt paper should go down first, then the drip edge. You cut it a little short on the ends which with hard driving winds and rain, may get water under the shingle and rot that osb. I also would have used reg. or if I had it, PT plywood for the roof instead of OSB. Thanks for sharing.

I’m anchoring my shed to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏

LOL, I hear ya! To attach it to your house you would just cut away the siding where you want the shed, pour your slab, and anchor to wall studs 👍. Then tie the siding in with house when you side the shed. Since this was intended for an air compressor I wanted the structures to be separate for noise, vibration, and the potential air compressor failure. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

The shed will be used for my air compressor and my shop vacuum with plumbing to my tools. Also for rakes and shovels. Need to insulate it mainly for noise but I also need an air supply system.

Any ideas? Thank you very much for your great video.

Hi Steve, That sounds awesome! I thought about doing the same thing in regards to plumbing the DC back into the shop to save on heated/cooled air, but after thinking through everything (including the massive holes I'd have to cut in the house) I opted to just leave the DC in the shop as it's in a pretty good spot already.

I'm just gearing up to build my first shed. I've never done roofing before, can you tell me why you put the top drip edge over the shingles instead of under?

@WoodshopMike

2 жыл бұрын

Very cool! The reason I put the top drip edge (could also just be flashing) on top of the shingles at the high side of the roof is so I have a seamless "cap". This keeps water on top of the shingles instead of potentially running under them. Hope that makes sense. Happy building!

Informative! What’s the height of the shed? Would like to build one…tho 4x4 like this for a sauna and May need ceiling joists. 7 ft is max I want for ceiling. Also, I may change door location. I assume it would be easy to modify from your plans.

I did that so that the top side of the roof would catch any rain the misses the roof line of my house. That way the ground behind the shed wouldn't get soaked during a heavy rain.

You don’t do that when you build walls on top of it.could have done the door opening tho.

I'm no expert, just some dude trying stuff out and bringing folks along. I didn't think I really needed to chamfer the edges since a shed would be going on top. Glad to have that confirmed 👊👊 Good point though, I guess if I'd planned ahead enough I could've chamfered the door opening.

Thanks for the tip dude I'll let that in mind! It's been there for a few years at the point with the air compressor running daily and things are still solid😃

I mean if you didn't know what it was, you would make the assumption on what it was. So don't be surprised if it smells.

Nice shed but NOT a lean-to shed

Downpipe running into the back of the shed no storm drain and no damp course membrane between the slab and the timber? Now very smartie🤣

Watch the video again. Down spout is to the side and pressure treated lumber against the concrete👍

@@WoodshopMike I might pass on watching all the video this time. I like a shed that has a dry floor not a damp floor. Plastic membrane between the gravel and the concrete salb would stop the damp rising. Pressure treated lumber will rot in 5 yrs unless you treat is with aditional wood preserver and add damp course as I mentioned before. Lumber work is first class but the rest? Every day is a learning day.
