Welcome to part 3 of our shed build showing the wall framing. We decided not to sheath the walls before standing them, as we had originally intended. We had a few reasons for making this choice:
– make them lighter and easier to lift
– prevent high winds from pushing too hard before everything is situated and connected
– get us to the roof build faster, which will provide some rain protection
We also chose to replace the "standard" door from our design with bigger double doors that we will make ourselves. This bigger opening will replace our door opening and one window opening from our design.
This will be a 12'x24' wooden shed with a single slope metal roof and LP SmartSide siding.
I'll try to summarize some of the construction stats/key points here:
FLOOR:
– 12' x 24'
– 4' x 4' treated skid foundation
– 2" x 8" joists @ 16" OC
– 3/4" plywood subfloor
WALLS:
– 2" x 4" construction with double top plates
– (4) 3' x 2' sliding windows
– 36" x 80" metal prehung door
– 1/2" OSB sheathing
– House wrap
– LP SmartSide paneling
ROOF:
– 16' x 27'
– 1.5-in-12 pitch (minimum recommended by metal roof mfr), single slope
– 2" x 8" rafters @ 24" OC
– 1/2" plywood sheathing, with sheathing clips
– Synthectic roofing paper
– 29 gauge galvalume metal roofing panels (3' x 16' each)

Looking good! I think it’s gonna work out great!!!
Thanks Matt!
Pam doesn’t like the sound of the nailgun.
The Build Is Looking good ! Great job !
Thanks, Pete!
Very nice my friend! Great work! Tom from Mesa
Great video…appreciate the thorough explanation as you go. Looking forward to future episodes.
Thanks, Mark. I’m sure some people will think I’m long-winded (and I sometimes am!), but I like to explain things to help others, as well as to prove to myself that I know what the heck I’m talking about! Often, as I walk through my thought process with others, I uncover mistakes in my logic. I like to be as prepared as possible, even though mistakes will always occur. Glad you’re liking it. Come back for more!
That looks great! How hot was it? I kept thinking you were gonna get a sunburn LOL.
Got pretty warm (around 100) through this step, but we actually got a nice little temperature break while working on the roof shortly after this. Stay tuned!
@MidlifePrices Oof. That’s HOT!!
Your part 1 ended with a bonus dance floor scene. A little disappointed no bonus this time.
The clouds building up in the background on day 1 was cool
Dang! Sorry about that. We’ll try to work some more in on future videos. We just barely noticed the clouds, too, right before we published this. Pretty neat to see in fast motion.
Brian! that is beautiful. Love the way it’s coming together. It’s obvious when someone is doing it right.
Thanks, Warren! Doing my best for a novice. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
looks great keep on it.
Great wall build. So nice to see a DIY homesteader building a decent shed instead of hauling another toxic, rusting steel shipping container out into the desert!
Thanks, David! Can’t say we didn’t consider it, but would kind of go against several of the reasons we’re doing this in the first place.
