How To Build A Shed - Part 6 - Install Shed Siding

Can a diabetic go back to normal?

Are those galvanized nails? When do you get to use your level ?

What siding is being used?

Do you have any tricks for preassembling each wall including siding so they all you need to do is stand the walls upright, nail them to the floor and nail the cornets together? I currently have a 4 x 10 foot lean to that abuts next to a fence and then two of the other sides are bordered bty climbing rose bushes I don't want to harm. I can't assemble and move into place as I did the original aluminum shed as there is now a gated entrance into my side yard vehind which the shed resides. As I have a small back yard that is beautifully landscaped, I want to build a new shed with shingled siding on the same foot print but with taller walls and gabled roof as I need to increase my storage. I also want to add a small rolling library ladder accessed loft area at the back end.

Good stuff! I'm installing the siding on my 10x16 this weekend

wonderful

you should built that on the floring

Where do you get the side panels from this looks so much easier than T&G.

Love the BiggerPockets intro.

I did it too. This is what I used woodglut designs for

Don't you have to plum the walls before you side?

If you set your rafters flush with the wall sheathing than you can cut your Gable siding to overhang the wall siding by 2 inches and than you won't need z flashing.

If your siding sheet is 4 x 8, how could you cover your walls with 0.5 inch above and below your 8 ft height studs?

I think they think you are a chippy

No OSB on the walls for strength, no moisture barrier installed. I guess you want to redo this every few years.

How do you finish the corners?

Love your detailed explanation, just wonder if this kind of side cladding can stand up to the wet and rainy conditions where i live?

Excellent

your the only one that ive seen that says put flashing between the boards. Makes sense though.

Is there something to add to the bottom of the siding so that the siding doesn't rot out or get wrecked over time?
I am replacing siding now and the old one seemed to get brittle and almost rotted near the bottom.

What is the exact length of your studs. They cannot be 92 5/8 cause you would not be able to overhang the siding at the bottom.

How to cover the bottom portion of the Z metal flashing, that extends down onto the lower siding panel?

Clicking on the "next" video at the end of you videos just pauses the video. It's not a link.

What are we looking at for cost on this shed?

Even without sheathing the stud walls were moving WAY too easily.

Great video! How do you keep the z flashing from pulling away when it's only nailed on the very ends?

What siding are you using?

Where did you get your sheet siding from?

do you need to use a osb sheating before putting on this panel. geting conflicting inputs, some people say if you dont put osb sheating the panel will warp over time., I also live in AZ, any feed back will be helpful

What material (panel) do you use for siding on this video?

Does something need to be added to the seams where the walls meet? caulk?

The whole series is very well done. I agree with all the positive comments. Thank you for a nice series.

I'll try to finish before August end so you can maybe do the joiices and logs the rest is inside.

Any help on a Costco....10x10 Fairfield shed ?

There are many ways to rough frame walls. You could even build the walls on the shed deck, use the sheathing to square the walls, and nail the sheathing on. If the deck is square, and level then the walls will be plumb. Tack the steathing on if you have concerns but hell it's just a shed. I've designed and built a couple of sheds. I even built a pentagonal tree house, assembled the wall, and roof panels on my driveway, hoisted them up, and nailed them in place.

Hi Chris.. what is the clearance of the sheeting around the door frame? Is that 1/2 inch ? Thanks!

Got this product from lowes (canada) for $20 less than other options. Its great so far

ive been told to use house wrap on the shed frame is that correct

Those bird's mouths look like they're too big. The plumb cut isn't making contact with the top plate at all.

did he say what size nails?

That's not plywood it's osb which isn't made for outside use , to use it you would have to house wrap it and go over it with siding . The way you built it you would have been better off with t111 pressure treated siding 5/8th or 3/4 in thickness so you can just nail it up and go.

i build my 8x10 the same way before seeing this except i used crown nailed for sheeting and my outside walls were 6' so the front n back so the peak went to 8' without seams and then sealed the bottom of the panels with caulk then primed n painted with oil based
