Hi All,

What is everyone using for insulation (R rating)? As you can see it’s an unfinished shed for lawn storage / a mini mancave/she shed etc. I have no plans of finishing it into a fully sealed area (dry wall etc) what you see (minus the wires everywhere, that’s since been cleaned up) is what it’ll stay as. I’m in suburban Philly for weather purposes.

Just want to share my shed progress. Plans are a 12x12 gable shed from icreatibles.com.

Never really built something like this before but it seems to be going well so far.

I had a 10x20 shed built by local Amish. (I did the steps and ramp myself so don’t judge too harsh lol). They built the structure but subbed out the door to an overhead door company.

I opted to have a garage door on the end and I’m looking for suggestions on what to use to cover the plywood floor that’s exposed outside of the garage door. The door is 8’ wide and there’s about 6” exposed. The plywood is pressure treated but I’d still prefer something additional to cover it.

I’m sure there is something proper for this purpose, i just can’t seem to find anything or know the right term to search for.

I’d like to find a strip of diamond plate to put down, but that length is pricey to ship and I don’t have a metal yard near me.

Thanks in advance.

I recently posted asking for help because I'm new to building things, let alone a shed. Reddit was my LAST choice to ask for help because I can't stand people on the Internet. But, after seeing other posts and how helpful people were, I got enough confidence to ask for help.

Aside from a few of you who actually tried to give advice or constructive criticism, I instantly regretted it. I'm grateful to those of you who gave me pointers and links to use for plans and what not. But, I took the post down because I got tired of reading how terrible my build was. I noted in my post that I didn't know what I was doing and had to search for videos on YouTube to figure out as much as I had. Just sucks that my last resort ended up being worse than I thought it would be.

I wasn't asking for people to stroke my ego, but it would have been nice to have been given actual helpful advice aside from, "JuSt StArT oVeR" like I have a disposable income. Lesson learned. However, again, I want to thank those of you that gave decent advice. I'm going to attempt the roof today after the adjustments I've made thanks to your guy's advice.

For the majority, maybe stop comparing sizes when someone asks for help.. I get it, you're better.

I was planning to flip the shed and pour concrete instead of wood. Is that a good idea?

Hello shed experts, I’ve dug and built a 10x18 shed base for a 8x16 shed that’s going to be delivered to me soon. I was planning on using 3/4” crushed clean limestone for the rock, which a nearby vendor told me they had available before I started the project. Now that I need it delivered, they sent me this message “I can’t get 3/4 clean, I can get 3/4 minus or roadstone, 3/4 clean or washed is harder to get , it’s reserved the concrete plants, I have 3/8 clean chips in stock , 1” clean, and 3/4 and 1” roadstone”. What would you guys recommend I use to fill it? Thanks in advance!

Our shed will be a pottery studio and it's important to keep clay water, glaze, etc cleaned up well since the stuff is very bad to breathe in when dry. If we do a concrete slab and use it as the floor, is there a particular way to finish the concrete that would make the floor the easiest to clean? "Brushed" sounds too textured... ?
