Just to clarify: This was used as a temporarily work shed, so that's why there are no sheating on the walls, simple roof, and no foundation. However, it would work fine as a regular shed if you add sheating, a metal roof and a good foundation. Some people comment that this is 2x6 and not decking boards, which is completely wrong. These are close to 1x5, and they are pressure treated decking boards. These are the cheapest decking boards available here where I live, and they're half the price of 2x4's. This may of course not be the case other places in the world. The point was to use the cheapest lumber I could find to prove that you necessarily don't need "construction" lumber to make a shed. Finally, the shed is still standing, and have been through some heavy winds and rain without any problems. I'm soon taking it down for the winter.

The ease at which he built those wall frames just proves to me how I over-complicate things. I'll be using Dieter's style going foward.

I often start with a simple idea then overbuild the heck out of it then get annoyed when it all gets too complicated 😂 Thanks for the video showing that simple is best ❤

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You were straight to the piint and made it very simple. Plus, your guitar playing in the background is a lovely touch. ❤❤❤

I love watching your videos. I am learning all things wood, for home diy projects and small Sheds, Bunkies, Mini Garden Rooms, Smaller Pergolas, Easy Deck Builds are all I watch now. I love it. The easier someone makes it look the better, and no endless talking everything to the point with examples, like how you make your videos. Thank you love watching your example videos and hope you keep making more. ❤ from USA

so, excellent..I saved this one..I am 72yo female..and I am gonna do this build..lov from south alabama.10/3/23 MAKING SHED BUILDING GREAT AGAIN.

The modular system works very well. It is especially good for someone who works alone.

I really like the simplicty and modularity of this approach! Good video.

That was amazing especially prebuilt and fitting inside your van. That’s 10 extra bonus points 😉

Dieter, you’re a talented woodworker and a talented guitarist. I’m so jealous!

As Mark Twain said, "I love work. I could watch it all day." In other words, this was a great video!

I love this modular approach. Certainly quick and efficient. Your guitar playing is very beautiful too.

That is a fantastic build and fantastic guitar playing as well.. thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍

Great build. And- awesome guitar playing!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing a super helpful, excellent design, like someone else said it was modules easy to move around for one person to build it's the design I'm looking for, excellent guitar work as well

Thanks for this information. I have limited space at home and my grandchildren took over my garage and I used to work in my driveway for about 5 years. Last week I had masons make a 12’X15’ slab in my backyard which will be my future outdoor shed/workshop/man cave/kids fun zone. Lost likely the grandchildren will take over this area also. I might invest in a cordless nail gun, I still have a box full of hitachi nails and hitachi air powered nail gun. Thanks again for this.

I love working with wood, and you make it a lot easier than what really is. Thank you for this talented demonstration!!

You are truly gifted both with your woodworking and guitar- best wishes!

Dieter, that was fabulous! Your very pleasant guitar accompaniment to this simple and clever build was perfect. a LOT could be done with this simple, portable shed: one could put canvas on the walls and roof for some rainproof covering-- still keeping it portable. Or, as you said, put it on a foundation and clad it permanently. Cheap and very simple, what's not to like? Thanks for sharing that!

Dieter, you’re one talented person!, thank you and be safe.

Dieter, you are multi-talented! You can even edit videos well. Thanks for sharing your design.

Very nicd shed, Dieter. I find that musicians usually excel at most other things besides music! I have played music on piano and strings for over 50 years and love to build things too. Thanks for sharing!

Terrific list, Charles. Thank you

Beautiful guitar playing. And a nice shed design. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

This is so nice to watch. Relaxing, inspiring and educational. And I love the beautiful guitar playing! Thanks for sharing.

Great guitar accompanying the build, you are quite talented. I had saved money to replace my old shed with a new one this summer but as usual something went wrong elsewhere and it will have to be put off until next year. Your video gave me some great ideas as to how to shore up my old shed until I can replace it hopefully next summer. I can't tear it down because it is "grandfathered" as an existing building but if I can keep it upright and looking reasonably sturdy I can replace it next summer it over a long weekend and the city can't do anything about it. I had bought decking material to replace a goodly portion of the front porch but it turns out the handyman was lying and just wanted a job and was really angry that I had bought my own decking and walked away. I had my brother come out and double check my test of jumping up and down on the old decking and it didn't even bounce. My bother laughed at my rudimentary test but assured me the decking was fine with the exception of one board that has a slight crack that is only about 12 inches where it was nailed in along the length. I may just fill it in with epoxy and leave it for now as I plan to restain it. So now I have all this decking material sitting around since last summer. If I follow your method I can take the old shed apart when I have the cash and still have decking material that is long enough to replace decking elsewhere. Thank you very much for a great video. You've provided me with a solution to two separate issues.

Good work Dieter. Saved me time and gave me the education I needed for my project.

Really enjoyed the narration. I like the way you simplify the birds mouth cuts

yes, the scribe method along with the template method seems to be the easiest build style for small structures, no calculating especially with roofs and angle cuts. nice job!

Thanks for clarifying. Those of us who get it appreciate this, thanks.

Excellent shed, excellent guitar!

Both the shed and the music = awesome ❤

Excellent work!!!

Great work! Pro-tip for future reference, though: speed square. Makes the rafter cuts a snap!

Neat work, neat building! Thanks for showing us all how to keep it simple and economic!

Great Skills as a Musician and as a Carpenter. Bravo, My Brother. Peace and Health to you and Yours.

Ty for another option on building a shed

I loved video, Great work. Here in the states, the big-box-stores, some of the preassembled sheds they're selling use 2"×2"s for the 'studs', and the corner braces get 2"×3"s😮. I stepped inside one of them (a 12'×12' model.). I felt sure that if was of a mind to do so, I would have little trouble kicking the back wall straight off of the thing. Not to mention I could build 2 of them the same size, and use real 2"×4"s, have faith they wouldn't blow down in a strong thunderstorm.

Carpentry is the most rewarding profession / hobby you can imagine.

I used to play that guitar piece! Thanks for the video and inspiration!

Very efficient. You did a great job. Nice guitar work also . It fit well with your demeaner. Thanks for posting.

Great build thanks for posting

Just what I was looking for, to keep most snow off cords of wood and kindling - will build against shed. Like the canvas idea if we want more coverage.

Hello everyone, I hope you like the narration. It's not easy, but I will hopefully get better at it :) Feel free to ask any questions if anything is unclear.

This is how they make houses garages etc in USA/Canada..... using 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber ( 5 x 10 cm, 5 x 15 cm )... simple and quick. With a proper insulation and exterior protection, these houses are much better for living than concrete/brick houses. They do not last thousands of years, but are easily built, cheaper, and easily modified..... this is MY PERSONAL opinion so anyone who do not agree should restrain from starting a sort of argument/debate on this subject. Dieter you did a great job !!!!!!

Loved every second of this video.

Lovely job and lovely nylon strung guitar too. I also both play and make so much appreciated 🙂

I really like the build and guitar music. Excellent work. :)

Thank you, for sharing very helpful.

i grew up as a auto mechanic by trade and can fix just about anything the not a Duracell battery but now drive big rigs (hate it), now i brought a old house which i had torn down and plan to rebuild a tiny home on very very soon, you clip gave me a great idea to pre build and take it apart to set up on site... thanks for the spark bud... great stuff!!!!

Excellent video , and guitar playing. Nice design of a simple shed.

Excellent post, thank you for sharing.

Nice work. the guitar playing is very good. Soothing.

Innovative as always, thanks for sharing!

Great Job in Using some 5/4 Decking Board to Build a Shed. There is always a Deal to Purchase these 5/4 Decking Boards at Home Depot. The Prices on the Decking Boards are a lot cheaper than 2x6 and they are Pressure-treated also. And also using the New Decking Board Style Screws is just like using Nails. Just need to Reinforce the Walls with some Cross Pieces and Double the Roof Rafters to Support Our Winter Snow Up Here in Canada.

Before starting to build the house, I will take your shed model for my temporary one which will be used as a working place. Nice job you did. Same material dimensions where I live and for a good price. Thank you!

Thank you for this! 🙏✌️

I like!! You are a good guitar accompanist, too!!

I'm planning on building a simple shed to cover an outdoor bar and your build made it very doable and not too complicated. Thanks!!

I'm going to build this! Thank you!

Good stuff! Love the guitar playing. Burlington Bill here, singer songwriter of Sailing to Freedom here on you tube.

You are quite talented, construction and music-wise!!

Great work. Love the guitar as well. The tune at 6.32 is very reminiscent of Nick Drake

Wow mate, that looks fantastic

Well done all around.

Really enjoyed your video and guitar playing as well! Thank you

DIETER, IS VERY EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING. ENJOYED YOUR GUITAR SOLO, ALSO.

Thank you. Always great content here

I like how you added the bird sounds. Like they were laughing at you for the birds mouth. 👍👍

like the music thank you Dieter and your building skills are awesome too , hello from Australia ; )

Great wood and guitar skills

Great video and build!

Yes the guitar is really good .. There are so many cuts to do and so much wood to buy But beautifully done. I was looking to see how to make a nice little glamping house

Jeg ser hver video av deg. Jeg er veldig imponert over arbeidet ditt og håndverket ditt. Om en uke skal vi til Norge (fra Tyskland) og bo der i tre måneder i feriehuset vårt. Arbeidet ditt er en inspirasjon for oss. Tusen takk!

10 minute video and a 3 second final reveal. Brutal.

Thank you very helpful

Nice music and nice shed!

Great Job. Thank You.

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo 👍🙏👍

Excellent video and build! Just what I need myself! And just subscribed mate! Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I admire you work. But as a guitarist of fifty years, I admire your playing even more.

Absolutely Awesome 🥳🥳🥳

awesome video: thanks for the instructions and entertaining guitar playing.

Nice job D eiter! And nice guitar playing too :)

Not Bad.. I love to use 5/4 decking boards here in the US where I can. That shed is going to get a lot of blowing rain inside. Owner may want to close in a bit around the top..say about 1/3 to 1/2 the way down. Good job, Bloke.

Love the background music you chose as opposed to annoying ear battering music

GREAT JOB !! LOOKS VERY NICE AND GOOD CLEAR VIDEO !!

What tool did you use after the saw when cutting the top of the diagonal board? Thx 🙏

Excellent video

Great, simple and relaxing video. I am planning to build something like this above my bunny’s hutch. I have never done it before but why not to try it 😄 it will be a different shape, more like a triangle. What did you use for the roof?

Framing! Excellent carpenter and made it easy.

I love the guitar playing!

Thx. Super helpful, espc for a one person job

Good job Dieter do you offer a list of timber and sizes plus dimensions?

Great idea. Which plan from your web site would I get for this shed? Thank you

Hi An interesting build, and a well illustrated video. Can you please tell us the total quantity of material needed? How many boards, at what length? Thanks and yep like the guitar music too :)

Hei Dieter, du er flink. Takk for at du deler!

Great video!

I like it, I didn't see this particular shed on your web page.

Fantastic!!!!
