Anyone build your own shed at the cabin?

[Single_shot]

We all run out of room at some point inside our cabins,so we build a shed to fit the rest of the junk in.The wife and I built ours at the cabin this past summer for ~$1200.I had priced the ones at Lowes and HD and around the net and found the pricing to be somewhat high,and they were built out of at best,some crappy 2x4 or 2x3, for the same size as the one we built.The concrete pad is 12'x12',the overall of the shed is 12'x~11".I left a foot or so of concrete exposed in the rear for stacking extra wood,a ladder or whatever.I need to build a work bench inside yet,and some shelving,but basically done.I am not a carpenter so don't bust my cookies too bad about it,OK? I could have had a nice Amish built shed as or a little bigger for a few hundred more and had it delivered,but found this out after the fact....I would have gone that direction,had I known there was a guy that close. But I'm happy with what I have.

Nice job...when I saw that second pic....I thought you were going to put up the double wall/clear green house material to bring in nature light...which gives me an idea...thanks....

looks good from here. nice deal with the cement floor easy clean up after hanging deer in there.

looks reel good, just be carefull of the extra foot of concrete

leaving extra concrete exposed can allow water to settle and rot yout wood, maybee put a little tar down

My friend has a cabin next to me there,he had an Amish guy build and deliver his....it may very well be the guy you are talking about...I don't recall his name,but he did have real nice pricing and the shed he delivered to my buddy looks real good.

Yep! I put a beam up across for better roof support for snow weight and it doubles for a hanging pole for deer.I went to Harbor freight and bought a chain hoist...works great.

When I bolted down the treated lumber to the concrete,I ran closed cell foam between it and the concrete.....nothing leaks there.I will be putting a gutter there on the back to catch water for a rain bbl,then remove it for winter.

Good job! and way better than an amish built shed in my opinion.

Nice work! I have a shed that I stopped building in the spring, now I feel like white trash.

[Doewhacker]

Awesome sheds! I am in need of a new one or a tune up of the one I have, damn floor rotted out because of the previous home owners handy work.

I was going for a whimsical look so I made the roof look a little skewed... I haven't quite finished the inside yet, but when I'm done it will look better than many people bathrooms in their home..lol I am working on a cool door for it with a carving of a deer... hopefully have that on next spring.

Wow, I can't believe what some of u do in your buildings. ( in a nice way.)

Very nice shed. At our camp, we had to go a different route due to things coming up missing, and my existing shed getting broken into.. I bought a 10'x20 steel shipping container.

I've seen these a lot upstate. Must be the way to go.

It came from surronding land, but was not cut by me .. it was cut by the company that sold me the property. My cabin is sided with the same lumber...I hand picked boards with the best character.. some of the boards on the cabin are pretty knarly! I have started trimming the inside of the cabin with similar thinner boards. My baseboard has the same bark side just cut thinner.
