99 - DIY Shed - Complete Instructions - Best Tutorial There Is!

Includes complete materials list and cut list, with all angles and math done for you! Plus these designs maximize material use, giving you the most amount of shed for the least amount of money.

This is a complete video series detailing exactly how to build a shed from beginning to end. It is presented so that even someone with little to no experience can tackle this project. The instruction teaches the IBC (International Building Code) rules that almost every jurisdiction in the United States follows, so you will be prepared if you need a permit. But in many cases a permit isn’t required for a shed under a certain size.

This project takes only basic tools to accomplish. If you have a circular saw, a drill, a level & a hammer, along with some basic hand tools, you can do this.

There are things that will make it quicker of course, such as a nailgun & compressor. But you can decide what level of tools are needed.

I’ve broken the video into digestible parts. This makes it easier to refer back to a specific section. Or, if you only happen to need instruction in one area, this will save you time, since you can just watch what you need.

Best DYI video on YouTube, Hands down. After watching all 4 I now feel very comfortable tackling this project. I have done a lean to on my own but this make tackling my shed/workshop exciting. Thank you so much!

We have actually been talking about building our own shed for a few years now. This video was extremely helpful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the build and preparing to then build one ourselves. Lots of great helpful comments on this as well. Thanks for sharing.

[triplex]

What a great video. Clear, easy to follow guidance. You are a great teacher. Can't wait for Part 2 !!

[yuliyabryant]

Oh my. Thank you for this warm video. I love that family builds shed together. Beautiful.

[kevincrain]

Thank you for posting this video, i was inspired how hard your daughters worked, and the skills your teaching them. Excellent commentary .

[FatherOfTheParty]

Great demonstration of getting foundations right to start off the project. So many times if you take the time to do the foundation right you avoid problems later in the project. Also, great discussion of why and when you might want to stagger the seams of your floor sheeting.

Your family has skills! And they work like SeaBees -- hard, smart, and well. You have taught them well. You must be quite proud of each of them.

James, I am impressed with the detail that you shared in leveling the ground and securing the plywood to the base. You have done an outstanding job and I look forward to the videos yet to come.

Best shed building vid I have watched so far. Many thanks. Looking forward to watching the rest

[jamescole]

I am very impressed at how you made this whole build so easy to follow. You are an excellent teacher and builder. This is close to what I need to build and wouldn't have thought of the 6” long timberlock bolts.

Great team work! When you compact the ground with plate compactor, make sure spraying some water along with compaction. This will help the solid to achieve optimal moisture content and eliminate settlement in the future. Also, try compact the soil no more than 4 to 6 inches if your base is thicker.

Hi. Nice video. While I am familiar with construction I did learn something: the permanance of red v blue chalk. And great to see your daughters doing the work. That made me very happy.

This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!. This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!.

Hurray! The King Family (and friends) building again. Love you guys. 😘

Kings’ Fine Woodworking Community is awesome.

And I’ve been thinking about building a shed. Now I have no excuse.

[ElOlimpico]

Love the detail and easy to follow directions. Will definitely gave me great confidence to built mine now. Thanks a million.

Overall this is a good build. There are 3 minor things I would have done differently:
1. I would have staggered the plywood seams. Yes the joists are resting on the skids, but I like that little bit of extra strength.
2. If you tack a piece of 3/4" stock to the end of the rim joists and pull your 16s from that, you can install your joists with the edge on the mark instead of eyeballing the centers of the joists. Just a little easier in my opinion.
3. This is the biggest one for me - I would never build a shed (or any other structure) in a location where I couldn't get to all sides of the structure. So while I appreciate that you had limited space, I would have either shifted it a foot or so farther away from your neighbor's shed or settled for a slightly narrower shed so that I could access the neighbor's side of it. That would have been good for your neighbor's access to that side of his shed too.
