Shed build with pictures

[rdn2blazer]

Well I moved the shed over to the other side of the yard since my neighbor on the side it was at complained and bitched last weekend. I had to do it this past Sunday as my other neighbor on the oppisite side is having an addition added onto his house. He said he's going to have to have a building code inspector come out to make sure he's up to code. And if they see my containers and ding me for them. So by moving the shed, if I can get siding on it, it will block the view to the containers.

So I scrambled and got it moved 99% by myself and my little 110V 1500lb electric HF winch. What a life savor. I could not have done it without it. Moved it about 50/60 feet. But I smoked my back in the process. Having to set up and clamp a platform for the winch to sit on was a chore. And I had to move it several times. Bending, kneeling, laying down on the concrete to make sure the steel rails under it were doing ok. Then getting up and down and up and down. I was sore yesterday badly, but today my lower back is sooooo sore I could not go into work today. WAY over did it on Sunday and I was originally going to make that an easy day as I was tired and sore from work Friday already . Brutal.

Good job for getting it done!

Your doing a great job,better than I would be doing..and your not healthy too,I know its not easy doing that kind of work when your not feeling good,its bad enough when your in good shape.

I like you using the pallet for the base--I have made a whole shed from pallets for firewood,by bolting them together..its almost 15 years old now,the floor is rotten,but the pallets are still in great shape..

I've wanted another small shed all year--been scrounging wood up all year,now I have 35 2x4's and several 2x5's,some PT ones too..

I have a 6x6 foot "bed thing" I took off a ratted out K5 someone made when they hacked the rear half of it off to make a truck out of it--a crude wooden bed frame made of 2x6's I was going to make a shed from...wanted to use that for the base..the plywood on it was punky so I tore it off,the studs are weathered but still very solid..I was going to use drain oil to preserve the base boards..

I have collected about 80 peices of OSB board from where I used to get free pallets to burn,and they have sat in another shed out in the backyard for 10+ years now,so its time to put some to use,before they get eaten by ants or termites or rot,like some other once good wood I had did,and ended up in my wood stove..

The OSB is about 39" x 42",but very few are the same size,and of course they dont line up with the boards I wanted to leave in the square "bed" formation..

I would probably end up either taking it apart or adding more joists to be able to use the smaller OSB boards..it is much easier using 4x8 sheets..but they can be used on the walls by using girts ,then you wont need studs on center,or have to trim every peice to fit right..

I'm leaning more towards making a pole shed rather than stick framing one now...

I have a lot of galvanized pipes and I could drive 4 into the ground and bolt the 2x6's to them and then just enclose it with girts and the OSB boards...for the roof,I have a fiberglass bed cover off a later model Ford pickup 8 foot bed,I can just flop that in place and secure it..its heavy so it wont take much securing
,but lifting it up that high wont be easy..

I would make the pipes on one end taller than the other to give some slope to the roof..
Its a lot faster to make a pole shed,and uses a lot less lumber..I've seen truck caps used for shed roofs here too,and I've been tempted to get a free cap off craigslist I see listed a few times recently nearby..

I want to put it near the quonset garage so I can park my tractors in there,(at least a couple of them,I have 5!),where they can be accessed easier when needed to blow snow or plow,than they are way out in my backyard shed)....its getting close though,if I dont get those pipes in the ground soon,it'll be too late once the frost sets in..been trying to think up a way to drill holes big enough in the ground to put the pipes in--theres a lot of trees and roots,digging wont be easy and pounding them in with a hammer wont be easy either,standing on a ladder..post hole digger would be perfect,but I dont have any money to rent one..I have a manual one but doubt it'll be of much use with me poweing it..

Brought back from the dead. I kept this shed when I moved. Its sitting inside my shop space. I actually started working on it yesterday. Going to get it finished and use it. If I decide it doesn't work in the shop I will try and sell it.

I'm building it well. All coated deck screws, painted, straightest 2x4's I could find. Walls will get ourdoor shed paneling. Going to paint it barn red with white trim. Its going to have a double angle barn roof peek. All bare wood will be primed and painted. Using my new saw to cut all the stud spreaders.

Once my shed is done I can move a fair amount of stuff into the shed to help clear floor space to be able to move stuff around and organize my shop better. This is the beginning. Been a long time coming.

What are those white corner things at the top of the studs? I can see they're bracings of some sort to keep the walls square at 90 degrees but I've never seen anything like those offered anywhere like at Lowes or Menards.

Actually they are brackets for a clean room structure. They're 1/8 thick and powder coated white. I have 8 of them. I got then from my last shop. Boss was dismantling the clean room and let me have the 8 extra corner brackets that was extra when it was built. Work perfect for this.
