My first woodworking project for the year is going to be build a warehouse shed and solve all my embarrassing warehouse problems. Continue reading this article so you will see just how easy it no ifs ands or buts is.
Why Build a Shed Myself?
Carpentry Framing
1. Because it is rewarding and saves a lot of money too use on upgraded materials and features.
2. Building myself allows me to take my time, build at my own pace sort of speak.
3. Gives me the opening to tweak the shed originate as I remember extra needs I want to take care of. Most importantly I do not want to take part of my wood privacy fence down just to have a institution built shed delivered.
What Will I Need to Build My Shed
1. A set of shed plans I purchased online and downloaded in just a few minutes. They consist of a step by step set of instructions and a list of all the materials I will need for a successful project. Here is a tip for you, avoid the free shed plans, it is the ole bate and switch trick...
2. A good source to provide my materials, none of the cheep knotty twisted up stuff you get with one of the cheaper price kits on the market. With the money I save on somebody else labor construction it, I will buy the top capability materials: doors, windows and roofing shingles.
3. Most of the tools I will need I already have, but agreeing to my wife of 14 years I look for reasons to purchase a new shiny one every opening I get. All jokes aside, basic carpentry tools are all that you will need a claw hammer, speed square, level if you only want one get four footer and a chop saw or miter saw if you prefer. You will also need a combine step or A frame ladders tall adequate to put the roof on.
How to Build a warehouse Shed
1. I Start by ensuring that the location is level and well drained. Believe me, there is nothing worse than your construction standing in the middle of a large puddle of water and you want to get something out of it. Muddy feet aside, setting in water is bad for the building.
2. With the site level and well drained the next step is to build the foundation. For this project I am going to build a transported structure, a shed on skids, in my area this originate does not require a construction permit, which saves me money and the hassles of filling out all the paper work that is, required in the process.
3. I am using treated lumber skids that consist of 4 by 6 timbers 16 feet long as my foundation. I want a big shed, transported yes, but small no, size no ifs ands or buts dose matter. I want and need warehouse space and a work area for all my other woodworking projects I have the plans to build.
4. Once I have the skids in place by following the step by step instructions that are included in my set of construction plans, and specifications, the next step is to attach the floor joists to the skids. For my floor joists I am using 2 by 10 yellow pine boards that are 12 feet long.
5. After all the floor joists are in place the next step is to setup the flooring material. To ensure a sturdy floor that dose not flex under the weight of a heavy item. I use 4 by 8 sheets of plywood, 3/4 inch tongue and groove that locks the sheets together preventing, any up and down movement in the middle of the sheets where they butt together.
6. Upon completion of the floor, the constructions of the walls are next. Build the walls as a unit; laying on the flat exterior of the floor makes it easy to assemble all the wall frame components. The walls consist of a lowest plate, top plate, wall studs and headers for the windows and doors.
7. After the walls are constructed and standing on the floor the roof truss framing is the next step in the process. Refer to your set of plans for the proper angles you will need to cut for your rafters. This is the part of the project where a good miter saw is a time rescue tool that makes cutting the angles for the rafters unbelievably easy.
8. With the rafters built and standing tall, the next step is to attach the roof. I prefer to match the look of my house, so to do that I use the same shingles on the house. First attach the plywood decking to the rafters, followed by a layer of felt paper then the shingles.
Tip;
Renting an air powered roofing nailer saves a lot of time and power however, with a compressor and hose included, you can expect to spend a microscopic less than 0 to rent the tools, plus the further cost of the extra nails that fit the tool.
9. With the major construction portion of my warehouse shed project completed it is time to get started with all the finishing touches; painting, attaching gutters to control the rain water run off, and installing cabinets, shelving and all those extra microscopic projects I have plans for.
Now you see it no ifs ands or buts is easy to build a shed full of warehouse solutions, and then make spring cleaning fun, rewarding and end the embarrassing warehouse problems.
