Great ideas and good video editing, especially clear sound! I did a similar upgrade to a 10x12' metal shed and it has handled Canadian snow for 20 years. I did some extra vertical bracing on the end walls, then horizontal 2x4s and hung an upper shelf along each side by chains so the floor area was clear underneath. Now I am looking at tearing it down and replacing with a new 12x17' shed (more toys!) on a new expanded base. I will use your bracing techniques for the new shed as they are much better designed and should be stronger. Only difference for me is...DeWalt! Thanks!

Really nice sweat equity upgrade to winterize the roof of your shed. Thanks for posting this one!

Very good shed supports. I have a 10x14 that was a nightmare to put together. Your roof video is great and I'm going to do the same. Took me 3 weeks with grandsons help . Thanks lots. From Ohio

This is what I had in mind for my same shed. Nice to know it'll be fairly simple. Thanks for the upload.

Im so glad I stumbled onto your video when I tried to describe this fom my mind the person with the skills couldn't grasp this framing idea. Thank you so much.

Lol! You’re welcome. I have 3 (ish) videos on the shed if you are interested. 1 for waterproofing the floor and the rest are for strength upgrades for the roof. Good luck with your upgrades!

I took your lead on this project and it worked perfect! Thanks for sharing your idea!

Thank you for the video exactly what I needed and super simple.

Man, I’ve got that same saw! Put that table extension in. You’ll be glad you did.👍🏻

Nice work!!!

Great video well done for sharing.

Great video. I just assembled the tin pot shed. Will definitely add some structure. Like your idea..Thanks a lot.

I did similar for the roof beams on my Arrow shed, but I used 1x4s since I had a few 8 ft laying around. Not sure how I'm going to tie it all together yet, but your vid gave me some good ideas.

Good job 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just the video I was looking for! I'm also unable to find the snow load kit where I am. Thanks!

Nice job. I'm doing similar to an off the shelf shed. I'm building a workshop in a woodland site but first need to beef up my site hut (shed from a home depot type store). Very useful video.

How did it go? Im about to buy one of those home depot metal sheds but worried about it not being sturdy enough. Im in south Louisiana so mainly concerned about wind blowing it away. I have a cement slab that I plan on anchoring it to, but do you think the rest would fly apart? Were you able to beef up your shed?

@@coachmike3266 Here's how I anchored it. I put L bolts in the slab before it set up. But you could drill it and put lag bolts in it. I used two bolts on each side. I secured treated 2x6's to that and then some treated 2x2's on top of that. I secured the building to the 2x2's with about 36 #6 stainless steel screws. Caulked it all up and painted it. Good luck!

Good job 👍 I'm doing something similar for a flimsy Amazon sheet metal shed!

Do you have any pictures of how the reinforcing held up with snow on the roof, or verbal feedback after a winter with this mod??? Thanks Ken from the great white north!

I didn’t take any pictures but it’s still standing unharmed after it’s first winter. I have a neighbour with the same shed and theirs is all beat up, I’m assuming, from years of unreinforced snow load. I was concerned about snow load when I built it and after seeing theirs I came up with this idea.

I need to reinforce my shed roof it got old mess up with so much snow this year. One cuestion what is the name of the brackets you used? I probably have to buy them online or hardware store? Thanks in advance for your response. Nice video by the way
