I DO NOT own the background music.

1. Layout foundation using strings and batter boards. Dig holes for concrete piers and small rock for base. Use the pythagorean theorem to test strings are at 90 degree angles. Use plumb bob to center posts.
2. Use proper spacing and double up joists when necessary. Use proper sheathing 5/8" for sub floor.
3. Frame walls, check diagonals for square and place a diagonal brace to avoid shifting. Frame opening of door 2 inches wider than the door itself.
4. Put in rafters with the proper birds mouth, braces, and spacing. Extend the rafters as necessary to avoid rain and snow from touching the base of the shed.
5. Sheath the roof with 1/2" or 5/8" depending on snow loads. Put on asphalt paper, flashing, caulk between flashing and shingles. Sheath the walls with 1/2".
6. Install door with jamb and sloped threshold. Paint all necessary areas. Install wrap around molding.
7. Install vinyl siding. Install soffit to prevent animals from getting into the rafter area and protect facia from the weather.

  • It was $2,500 in materials.

  • This shed is awesome! How much did it cost to build?

  • @girlmastergeneral $2,500.00. I had a 10% off coupon from Home Depot. I bought 95% of the material all at once to take advantage of the discount. I did get some vinyl siding for the backside for free, which was brown and not white. The doors are commercial steel skin, used, at $45 each. The deadbolts were also free. I already had all the tools I needed to build the shed.
