How to Demo and Remove A Shed

Got an old shed that you need to take down? Here are a carpenter's tips on how to remove the old shed DIY style and stay safe and save money. As a shed builder, no two sheds seem to be the same, so I take you through some of the oddball stuff, tools, and techniques.

Note to HGTV watchers: No sledgehammers. I don't know why that's on TV, but it shouldn't be on TV. Saddle up. How to remove an old shed.

We hope this how-to helped. For more quick tips and how-to videos, keep watching more MyFixitUpLife.

You’re the Michael Scott of shed demos ❤

I’m laughed several times at this video but I guess the world is full of people that need to be reminded not to just walk off the end of the roof or let the roof collapse on top of them. And yes demo is fun! But the thing I liked best about the video is there was no finessing it. Just cut it up into the biggest pieces you can manage safely. No little hammer and pry bar like most of the demo videos on YT. You sir know how to get the job done.

Sir, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. I especially enjoyed your no-nonsense approach to explaining your techniques. I respect your honesty and your work ethic. Kudos, sir.

I know you were worried about small yard, neighbors fence, but once that roof down why are you still cutting. That little thing and a sledge is all you need unless you have a tiny dumpster or you like playing with tools. That whole thing with two guys should take 2 to 3 hours with filling up trailer or dumpster.

“Walk your ass right off the roof” lol

Neighbor gets locked out of his back door and after he gets inside they both stare at you through the window while you talk to a camera 🤣. I totally would've been those neighbors lol. "Hey babe, come check this out, the neighbors hired a guy to take down their shed and he's out there talking to himself. You think he's OK? I'm gonna go ask him if he needs some help with that, if he's not crazy I'll give you the signal and then you bring us out a couple of those Mike's from the fridge would ya please?"

Yup, totally would have went down that way.

You're so right, I pack trucks and twice in 20 years Ive walked off the back of a truck, I have learned my lesson, situation awareness...

3:35 Uhm, I'd probably agree that its important to have "one of these" on the jobsite, _IF_ I knew what "one of these" was, which i 😊
What is it?

[JuniperLorenz]

How much did you quote because I have a shed job and you’ve just help me on how to tear down but I don’t want to under quote! Shed a little bigger than that one!!!

[funkyduck]

I like your energy man!! And extra points for safety warnings. See ya!

[deweyjohnson]

Hey man what blade did you run on your saw for this? I just bought a flex saw noticed you also use flex, I have the rear handle saw. It made 2 good cuts and started to bog on me quick. Curious how many batteries you went through and what blade you are running here for this.

[junkinirishman]

Not sure why you’d go on a roof of a shed that needs to be demoed most times there not in wonderful condition. No reason to go on the roof. Throwing hazard, material and black bags and throwing in the trash. Definitely proper way to dispose of it. Lol.

[nunchuckcanuck]

Loved the video. I'm a young water damage technician and I was sent to PEI for hurricane clean up I usually just work in basements but I have multiple large demos coming up and I definitely appreciate the video giving me an idea of how to approach this

[hazaellara]

How much did you charge for something like this?

[martelinosusan]

This helped me so much to learn about getting rid of old shed!!!!
