I'm building the same shed, and video gives me the best example of how to get it done. 👌

Thanks for making this video !! I suck at building things but the video helped me and I gained major confidence!! I added more support and brackets and when i was done ..even my brother was impressed..(he is like tim allen lol THANKS AGAIN!!!

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing

good job !!! thank you 👍

I'm subbing just because you used hammer and nails.. Respect

Excellent build of the floor structure. But I will now have to make an emergency visit to my psychiatrist because that dink-a-dink "music" drove me over the edge!

My box(es) for my shed didn't look nearly as beat up as your box, yet I still found some abnormalities. However, the one thing I decided to do after reading the reviews and looking at the parts that come with the shed, I purchased some Self-Drilling Roofing Screws @ 3/4" with little rubber washers attached to them with 5/16"hex-heads. I've got the foundation about set and about to start building walls tomorrow. Decided to go with the tuff-blocks and 2x6's and plywood. I"M NERVOUS!!!!!

Built the wood frame to exactly 10'x14' but for some reason the shed was about 8 inches shorter than the floor (width was perfect fit). Newbie problems.

If we're not mistaken, the wood cost close to 300 or 350? But with today's prices, think it would probably have been half of what it cost today.

Usually you have to be 3-5 foot minimum from the property line. Is that not the case where you live?

my pressure treated 2x4 joists are bowed so even though the ends are 16 on center the middles are out of whack. any ideas on how to nail the plywood not knowing where the stud is under it?

If it is on concrete blocks, you should be able to put hand under the floor and feel where the studs are , and then transfer the position on the exterior facing side.

Hmmm remember total newbies here but maybe set the chalk line and aim to right/left of that line according to distance/bowing it had? Or if you cut some smaller 2x4s to go in between the longer joists, that can reinforce the flooring and help you correct the bowing ever so slightly.

Should have put blocking between the joists so they would stay true and give lateral support.

Just wondering how this shed has held up over time considering not all the joists being supported. Thanks!

probably not bad unless it rained there... like at all. built mine similarly except with a bit more on the frame and more deck blocks. less then a year and i'm preparing to lift the whole shed and replace the OSB floor with pressure treated plywood.

I thought it was joists for floors and studs for walls.

TL;DR - DO NOT USE OSB!! Use nothing less then 3/4" pressure treated plywood! and then coat it in something! 3 of these i have built. 1st one with no floor, just a double 2x4 border frame for the shed to sit on. 2nd floor was framed out and covered with OSB, the whole structure sat in level dirt. The 3rd was built elevated off the ground on concrete deck blocks. 10'x12'. double 2x4 border, joists every 12 inches instead of every 18", additional 2x4s in between joists, and a double 2x4 center. used 9 deck blocks: 1 on each corner, one in the middle on each side, one one in the center. then covered the floor frame in 1/2" OSB (cuz covid... and it was literally the only option and it cost $60 a 4x8 sheet!! (should have been $11/each) I'm less then 1 year in with the elevated 10x12 and cant even walk on or use half the floor due to it sagging and totally ruined from moisture. (granted, i knew this would happen due to using 1/2" OSB... I did not anticipate it happening in under a year!) I framed the floor more then what was needed. used more deck blocks then what was needed, but used the same OSB garbage everyone else used. (thinner yes, but same.) And because OSB does not dry or withstand being wet, I now get to lift the shed and replace the OSB with pressure treated plywood. (now that its in stock again and no longer costs my firstborn child and 13 years of servitude.)

You're right, those prices were out of control then, so we went with the cheaper option. Luckily, the floor has held up so far, considering the rain and elements.

So you're shed's not anchored to the ground that would not work where I live it would be bye bye shed

Would have used treated lumber throughout. Especially the floor, osb plywood will rot fairly quick. And yea should have called 811 before digging. Especially when you live in town. Lol

You don't have ANY beams or studs in the floor! They are ALL joists. Rim joist on the outside and floor joist on the inside. Studs are are vertical lumber for walls. Beams are horizontal and hold up floors, rafters/trusses. Try to use the correct terminology so the armature DIYer doesn't look like an idiot when they buy lumber.

Sadly you had no actual "How to" for the storage shed.

It's not a diy shed if you purchased a shed kit
