I am a 61 year young female and have absolutely no knowledge in woodworking. However, I have been wanting a shed for a few years now but with the rising prices I am not able to afford one. So I was scrolling and fantasizing about being able to build my own. When I ran across your first video I could not stop myself and had to watch the rest of your videos. Thank you so very much for doing this video, your good natured "jokes" and your time to make this old Lady happy. 👍🥰 I know it dosen't get me a shed build but I truly enjoyed watching.

I think I would have prioritized birdsmouth cuts on my rafters over vertical ends. I'm curious why you did the opposite.

@JessedoesDIY

Жыл бұрын

On such a small roof the birdsmouth isn't a complete necessity for lining things up, stability or strength. There isn't a second floor, it won't really be carrying a bunch of weight, and it isnt a massive structural piece with a transom or anything and so to keep it easy for the average DIY'er at home it is ok to just ignore it for simplicity sake. The verticle ends however will be visible to everybody and is easy to do, so why not

Hi Jesse! Shouldn’t the diagonal brace on the door go the other way? Like from the lower hinge towards the top of the door that opens out. It will stiffen and hold the door better. It’s not a huge door, mind you, so it probably isn’t a major issue!

@JessedoesDIY

Жыл бұрын

If it was a structural support, then yes, you are correct. But the OSB sheet is keeping the door square and there is no need for a brace. As I said, I just wanted something in the middle of the door to give the OSB some more strength and to screw to. I was just going to go straight across the middle but the scrap piece I had was longer so I added a slight angle just to maximize surface area

@JessedoesDIY

But if you wanted to use this, you would frame the walls similar to the door everywhere you want a window. Make a header for them, and use jack and kind studs. Cut the holes in the osb after it's installed on the wall framing, then set in and screw the windows in place, caulk the outsides

Do you have the, “buy me a coffee” app? We are definitely investing in to those hurricane ties! Thank you so much for the suggestion. 2. Any tips for shed builds with rafters on both sides? The rise:run:pitch dynamic can be so confusing! We’re thinking of a 7/12(7:12) pitch, 7’ foot rise for extra storage space, because we have an 8’ foot run. What we believe is that leaves us with a little under a 12.5’ long rafters? 3. How long could we make our tail/ease/overhang without causing any structural integrity? 4. Also, we’re scratching our heads about working in some cross-member truss. Any tips for that? Especially since we plan on utilizing the space up there. Once again, thank you so much for your generous help. Do you have a Facebook group for us to join?

@JessedoesDIY

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It was a slurpee lol I don't drink coffee, don't like it. Hurricane ties make a big difference in strength and are mandatory in places. As for the roof rafters on both sides, it is easier if you run a main beam at the height of the roof from front to back, and then rough cut the rafters, stand them in place to the top of the beam and then overhang the wall, use a straight edge to make your marks and then cut them out. I typically like to leave between 6-8" overhang going that way. As for a truss, those are typically engineered and constructed for the size and load needed, can't help you there. You could put up the rafters and then stick build some storage under them once it's complete. I do not yet, social media eludes me, I don't get it lol but there are things I'm looking into going forward!

hello there. have a question. what size of stud for roof truss did you use . *****2by4by10***** or *****2by4by8***** ?? in the description of materials it say 11- 2by4by8....... but the width of your shed is 8 feet, and the truss has an overhang on both sides. should it show 11 studs of *****2by4by10***** in the description for materials.?? now its time for me to go buy studs for roof truss. thanks.

Sorry if this is a stupid question when you’re tying in the side walls and the back walls with your second top plate are any other those 2 x 4 top plates Need to be cut? My side walls are 8 feet my back wall is 10 feet. If I overlay my side walls top plate to tie into the back wall do I need to cut that back wall top plate? how many inches does the back 2nd wall top plate need to be?

@JessedoesDIY

2 жыл бұрын

No prob. Well all the top plates will need to be cut to size. Your walls are like mine, so I'd just do it the same way. Take your back wall top plate and cut 3.5" off each end, or 7" shorter than the wall. Then take your side wall top plates and cut them 3.5" longer than your wall. It'll just set on top of the side walls and that extra 3.5" will overlap the back wall in the corners. Then your back wall top plate will just fit on top in between the 2 side wall overlaps, it will overlap nothing.

Great video. How much in cost of materials did you have in this build? I’m thinking about building vs buying a barn kit. Thanks

@JessedoesDIY

Thanks. I could built it today for about $1300 where I live. Even cost for cost though, this will always be better because you get much more lumber. They still have to make a profit on the kit, so they take out material to do it. Up to you, good luck either way!

Hello I am wanting to build a shed with a wood frame and metal walls and roof. Do I have follow the instructions you using same for wood and replace the wood walls with metal? Thanks. Ood

@JessedoesDIY

9 ай бұрын

For the floor it'll be the same. Metal framing for the walls is a bit different but it'll still work with this floor

So far, so good .... I started working on the rafter template yesterday & ran into a snag. The dimension/height for the front wall is 91.5" from the floor to the 2nd top plate. I believe that's because you used a full OSB sheet as your 8' outer dimension. So, technically, when I'm placing the screws to make my rafter template, shouldn't I place the front one at 13.5", and not the 18" (like you instructed)? I don't know if I'm over thinking this, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Hey, good to hear! So yeah, you sir are correct. I misspoke and said a foot and a half, but I went back and watched the footage I actually measured 13.5", my bad. Hope that helps clear the air. Good luck, can't wait to see it!

Just wondering. Why is this done with the side wall structure separated into a wall and an angled roof support "Wedge" on top? I'd have thought it would have been simpler (Less cutting, less wood, fewer joins) to make the side wall frames to incorporate the roof slope as a single panel......... Or am I missing something important here?

@JessedoesDIY

4 ай бұрын

It's actually easier this way for most people because you don't have to figure out how long and the angle of the wall studs are before hand and possibly have them wrong. This way it's easy to make the angled cuts from scrap pieces after and the wall is straight boards all the same length. Do it how you feel works for you, either or works

Your videos are great, but I was wondering why you did not cut a birdsmouth on the rafters?

Lol yeah, only a little. The wood was pretty dry because of the time of year. Glad you like it tho!

I know this video is over a year old, but I have a question for you. I've watched a few videos on some shed builds and all the other ones I've watched cut in a bird's mouth for the roofing. And every time I seen them do that, I wondered how necessary it is. Seeing that you did not do this, how necessary is the bird's mouth?

Hey there. So a birdsmounth help the board stand the load of the roof without the corner of the top plate pressing into it, but on a small roof it'll only compress slightly. It also helps locate the board and stop it from moving around. These things aren't totally necessary on such a small roof. You can absolutely add them if you like, but it'll be just fine without them on a small roof for a shed. So because of that, I decided to skip it all together to make the easiest DIY roof for the homeowner to figure out without complicated angles and rise/run measurements. Hope that helps!

Great series! Super informative. I’m trying to learn here and am curious at what point you should use a bird mouth cut in the rafters? Is there a certain pitch that would require it? Thanks!

Thanks, glad you like it! I'm also very happy I could help. For the birds mouth you can put it on at any time if you want but it isn't really needed on a small shed. If you go for a larger shed and pass the size for needing a permit in your area, then you'd need to do them. For me that size is 100 Sq.ft, so a 8x10 shed is under that and I can get away without it. Hope that helps

Why not use hurricane brackets for the roof truss?

What kind of paint do you recommend to protect the wood from rain?

@JessedoesDIY

Any outdoor rated paint will work just fine. The thing with paint for outdoors is it's meant to be layered up pretty thick over time. So you'll have to recoat it after a couple years, then maybe another 5 after that. Then you'll probably have a good thick layer of protection to last decades

Good morning Jesse. Allow me one more question; probably the last 2 ones: 1. The trimmers around the corners, do I necessarily should use the thicker planks (1/2, 3/4, etc. OR I can also use the tiny ones; I believe is 3/8 or something like that. 2. The ridge edge, under or over the underlined.

Lol I used thicker because it is sturdier, more resistant to issues, and it's pressure treated. It also gives you a nice shadow line. I wouldn't go under 3/4" thick. And your drip edge goes first, under the underlay

Hey Jesse, I know I already told you 20 times that this is the last question; but I believe this one will be the penultimate (could be 4 or 5 more): The drip edge goes at the front of the fascia board (visible from outside) or behind, so inside, between the fascia and the sub fascia. Thanks Jesse.

I was wondering, i want to do a 12 x 24 so i figured i would add 1 more 4x4 on the bottom and i may want to put a car in it. Would 2x6 be strong enough to hold a car for floor studs?, and if i do 2 12' x 12' sections how would I go about butting them together?

To put a car in it you'll have issues with the floor sheeting as well as the joists. You'll probably need a concrete slab. The roof would also need to be beefed up a bit because of the span

Thanks for the quick reply I’m not actually going to put a car only a riding mower. As for the roof if I go 12 inch on center with hurricane ties will that make it work. Honestly I have never seen a lean to shed going horizontally it’s just like yours 8x10 , I understand if it was 8 x 12 or bigger no way I will do it this way.Thank you so much Jesse.

What materials did you use for the roof in case of rain?

Glad I found this build. I learned a lot watching through and think I might try this when material prices are better. How do you feel about 2 foot framing for a shed vs the 16 inch? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I'm happy I could help! Depends on where you are but lumber prices have mostly corrected themselves here, still up a buck to a few bucks but that's it. 24" on center will work for the walls of a shed, but I'd stick with 16" for the floor and roof. Good luck on yours, keep me posted!
