How To Wire A Storage Building For Electricity

On this video we wire the inside of a 12 X 32 storage building for electricity. This will be used as a wood working shop. I will show you the basics for how to do this yourself. Please consult a licensed electrician before doing any electrical work on you own unless you are qualified to do it already.

I'm not an electrician, we are just doing this for our own self. We followed instructions from the builder supply that we purchased all of the materials from. If you are doing this check with your local electrical codes for more info.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm in the process of wiring an old garage and was glad for the refresher course. Good job teaching your grandson a necessary skill.

I have only been watching this video for 6 mins and 24 seconds and you’ve given me more information on how to properly wire my shed than the other 40 videos I’ve watched. Fantastic!

Good trick on folding wires back into a single box with an outlet. I always fight those. This trick is gonna help me On my next diy wiring. 😊

I just purchased a shed and plan to convert to office/workshop. Eventhough I have replaced light switches and sockets over the years. Wiring the shed made me very leery. I do have a local electrician that will help with wiring from the main house but wanted to do some myself. I am so glad to have found this video which is very well explained and will be a very good starting point for my project.

Super installation, I will be wiring my 12 X 32 shed now that I know how. You are a GREAT instructor, I wish my grandson was closer to help. I always wondered what wire was broke at the light switch, now I know. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge freely, time for this great grand paw to get to work. Have a great day and a better tomorrow. GOD bless you and your family.

watched many videos, but your no extra talk, straight to the point and understandable to all people was dope

Sir, for the most part you did very well. Yes, there are some minor discrepancies. There is one issue that you really need to fix though. Putting 2 ground conductors on one screw in the receptacles is not per the NEC rules and is unsafe. Code says that removing one device will not disconnect the ground conductor. They need to be spliced and then connected to the device. Best wishes! Be safe, the life you save may be your own. Kevin

You sure made me feel like I can do most of this myself. Awesome

Thank you for doing this video! We are getting ready to wire our 10x16 shed so this will be our reference when we start the job.

Thank you Sir! I was reading a book on basic home wiring and code but I hate reading. This video taught me more in 23 minutes than 2 hours of reading that book 😃

Best video on YouTube on how to wire a storage.. THANK YOU!!

[jacklucas]

I am impressed that you chose to use what looks like commercial grade switches and receptacles, kudos to you. As others have pointed out two grounds may not be fastened to the ground lug, one must use a pig tail in those circumstances. The other issue I noticed was that wiring receptacles that are switched requires the use of 12ga. wire to be code compliant.

It's always cool to do wiring by yourself, must be relaxing to go at your own pace lol. I'm a former Electrical apprentice but I think I'd enjoy doing small electrical projects with friends or helping someone wire up something like this.

I would like to thanks you for this awesome video. It was very informative you did a great job. I'm getting ready to do the same thing for an outside office area shed. Keep up the great work. Much love and God Bless you.

Thanks for this video, you explain this in such a common sense, easy to understand way. I've learned more from this one video than all the rest I've looked at it the last couple of days combined... thanks & God bless.

Solid electrical-to-shed instruction. 👍

[stefensmith]

This is great! Several other videos out there combined don't have near the information this one does! It really helped alot.

[johnstancliff]

I've got a 8 X 12 shed wired the same way except its only 50 amp. has air conditioning and heat even! that's going to be one nice shop once all the power is in!

This is just what I needed! I’m in the process of getting my 16 X 30 shed home wired and well, your video helped me understand how I’d like to do it. And I believe your channel deserves my subscription
