Thanks for looking out

Great advice. Should be pinned!

OMG!! 😁👍🏼

It happens lightning fast.

Same here . My friend got 35 stitches !

Thanks for leaving the great comment. I hope your mom likes it.

It's so easy it doesn't require much instructions, feel free to ask question on the comment section. Good luck!

absolutely

;) indeed but hes still pretty strong for 73.

So far its holding up great, we will see

Resin sheds are known for warped doors and walls along with UV rays making them look faded over time. Also, high winds can move them around if they are not anchored down.

it works great!

good luck, thanks for the comment.

A concrete Base would be cheaper.

thanks for the comment!!

thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

as long as it works

Great advice about the groundhog burrowing issue. Where I live in the Southwest, it is a mama squirrel issue and for the second year in a row, she has burrowed under the shed that was incorrectly installed over bare dirt by the previous homeowner, my uncle, who should have known better. I will now have to wait for mama's babies to leave the underground nest a couple of months from now and then figure out what I will do to try to solve the problem.

Thank you

thanks!!

Thank you

Yes the gravel is indeed used to build concrete foundations. They way I did it bypasses the extra step, although some applications require a concrete pad, a small shed is not one of them.

Not yet, soon I'll post it

That's correct and an alternative to what I did. Thanks for the great comment.

Bought at an outdoor living place, where they sell pavers, sand etc. To calculate the gravel needed for for cubic yards formula, basically length x width x depth. Good luck an consider subscribing for more videos.

Just regular spray paint with primer to further protect the PT wood and make it look good.. I used the common gravel you can buy from and outdoor place. It's called 3/4 gravel or bluestone.

Thabks, I had an old bbq grill top that I used to make those lines.

The drill bit was 1/2 I believe. The main reason I sprayed the PT was to make it look better and protect it little more. I didn't want it to get the old grey color as the PT ages. The spray paint should also help water from penetrating the PT just like any other paint protects the wood.

The paint looks nice but it does not last long in the sun. I have painted with spray paint on exterior wood before and it fades very quickly. The real protection is from the wood being pressure treated. If you’re looking to skip a step this would be it.

ended up mixing a couple of bags of concrete on the slope beneath the pressure treated post.

thanks!

It came with the shed, the shed has a plastic type flooring. I added plywood on top and anchored it. Subscribe to see more videos on that.

4x4 posts

This method no water will ever collect on the surface.

Good point, if you notice my knee closest to the saw is back more. I was aware that could happen but should of taken better precaution. Thanks.

I think 2.5 yards. Width x height × length then convert from cubic feet to yards

I'm looking for the same

The shed has been great so far. Thanks for the comment

Yes, very important for stability etc.

I could of just used the string but then I decided to just spray paint the outline and remove the string which I decide not too just to make sure my spray paint out line was correct and I could continue to measure the string diagonals. With that being said I probably should of just remove the string earlier than I did, it was there to ensure the box was squared and I could measure the diagonal. Obviously I did this live and looking back I could of removed it sooner. Btw another important thing is to measure the diagonal on the posts to make sure that is square which means that just digging a foot more on all directions than setting the posts down checking for square without using the strings is an option, but I like to make sure its square right off the bat and use the strings to do that. It's all a matter if preference.

Its sitting on a layer of stone that allows for drainage.

Is trolling through peoples hard work to nit pick acceptable?

I will be making a video on this soon, basically the weight you have inside should help. If your in a really high wind area you might need to take some other steps. One way is to anchor it on the 4x4 posts.

4-6 inches deep of gravel, don't forget to compact it.

I didn't buy bags, got the stone from an outdoor material place, way cheaper.

About 1.5 yards I believe

Its pressure treated. Its going to last a long time. It's also sitting on top of the stones for drainage. You can use cinder blocks as an alternative .

4 yrs would be extreme/min. 8-10 yrs is maybe average for cheap home depot lumber. if it was quality, or actually sealed/not just spray painted, maybe 20 yrs. Also probably matters if the slope has water sitting against the wood, or how much moisture/exposure those 4x4 experience.

Absolutely

We mix concrete and applied it under it, it's in the video. There's no magic.

I showed that on the video

*amateurs

ironic ...i blame auto correct 🤣@@brianyhearne

Intact or puréed?

Going for cheap and reliable. The underlayment will help with stability. So far after intense rain and wine we had had zero issues

More work, more money for concrete and you need to know how to work it. This method is very effective for the price.

It's coming

It has constantly rained for weeks with no issues, with rain or water. No moisture at all, the gravel is doing its job and the base is solid.

You should move or make sure the neighborhood is cleaned. No issues here with rats.

forgive me being blunt but it's silly to say move & imply that your world is superior. It's all well & good until they come & reality is rodents are already wherever we are. 100% perfect environment for nesting, dry, easy burrow material, covered & no access for predators like cats. Easily reduce the odds with at least 18" depth of cage wire or rodent mesh all round inside the 4x4 (so 14 to 16 inch buried) assuming shed founded right up to 4x4. In the video example the exposed gravel area needs special measures - no problem, low expense use cage wire. Writing from very bitter experience my own & various neighbours' projects in the 4th least disadvantaged district in my country. Excellent video by the way, am inspired do similar good work..

You need hard work for things to turn out nice.

In most areas you need a permit since is a permanent foundation. This method also is cheaper than concrete and its actually lo ess work. With concrete you still need to set forms and actually know how to work the concrete. Its method us cheaper, less work with way better drainage. It's also much simpler for the DIYers.

Subscribe to see how I anchored it. Obviously when building anything check code but with the crazy wind in FL it might not meet code, then again its not a permanent structure. Can a table be lect outside in FL. Regardless check codes to see if foundation is appropriate. Where I live its accepted since there's no permanent foundation. It has survived gusts of 60 mph winds with no issues, didn't even budge.

its called doing it right!

@@daP.A many ways to do it right

The base was cheap, around 350/400. 3/4 blue stone and PT wood does not cost 1000. It was about 200 for the stone and another 150 or so for the wood and other material. This is one of the cheapest bases you can get.

?

@@daP.A Yes or no question.

the gravel?

The gravel is Jewish@@truthalonetriumphs6572

@@truthalonetriumphs6572 Gravel looks Swedish.

3/4 bluestone

I heard that larger blue stone .awesome a more stable shed as they interlock better"

We have had gusts of 60 with no issues. I secured the shed with steaks and theres a lot of weight keeping the shed in place. No water, snow nor wind have done any damage to it. As for the house it's a wood exterior, it needs vinyl siding but for now it will do.

@@daP.A Hey, sounds good🤙🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼 Thanx for the update. I live in South Florida where hurricanes and high winds are a big issue. I wish I could do my shed platform just like you guys but unfortunately, Code and inspections are super strict. Looking forward to seeing more of your build videos!! Very entertaining and informative!! Thanx so much🤙🏼😃
