Bike Shed

[The_Real_TCIII]

I saw this cool idea on Facebook and decided to build one and maybe regain control of my garage, which has been taken over by bikes, scooters, and every sporting good you can think of

We will see if it comes out as nice as the one in the picture!

I'm doing board and batten

It looks great !

[Paula]

That's a good idea.

Great idea! I know I could use more room and less clutter in my garage.

Great idea....i could also stuff the rest of my son's outside toys in there as well! Might need to take a trip down to the Amish for some material.

The floor is hardi backer leftover from my bathroom tile job but it's too springy, I'll drop a sheet of plywood over it

It's never big enough Larry.

I feel like one of those plastic garden sheds might be cheaper in the long run? Lumber isn't cheap and you will need a roof on it. also depending on where you live be careful about building permits/ordinances.

Good chance a plastic shed for 225.00 will buckle with normal wny winter weather....the board and batten should hold the test time.

I took it as he didn't want a full size one.

that looks like rough cut...2x2's and your left overs...shouldn't be running too much....if your a scrounger...check out soom construction roofing jobs ..you may be able to pick up enough roofing rubber for free or check out the lumber yards for cover pieces that come off metal roofing shipments...they can't be sold as roofing but work and are discounted.

don't know the area or the neighborhood and I'm not bashing creativity and ingenuity. but judging by the pics the neighbors look close and I wouldn't be too thrilled if someone built a "shed" out of leftover lumber. just saying.

Looks like it will end up being a nicely built shed.....just saying

It's 3' deep and will be up against my house, and it won't be an eye sore. It's not leftover lumber it's rough cut

 Nice job. Thinking of building one for firewood storage. Pallets are a dime a dozen. Nails are expensive enough and quality isn't the best.  Have to drill pilot holes though. Come in really handy keeping a couple cords dry. Keep it under the size requirements for a building permit.

I don't judge natural wood an eye sore. People pay big money for old barn boards in some areas of the country these days.. Looks like good quality design and workmanship to me. Of coarse Clarence are is still country oriented. Beautiful community.

Our goat barn was built out of rough cut, why I recognized it as such . We never stained or painted and it weathered to a very pretty grey ...20 years old and still in great shape...Out lasting the shingled roof, that's getting a new metal roof covering this year. His shed will look just fine when all done and stained.

[The_Real_TCIII]

Just need the doors (the hard part) and it's done. I'll wait a few weeks to stain and seal it so the lumber can dry out

[grampy]

Nice work! Great idea too. I know if I have to move those !#%$# bikes in my garage one more time.......I may consider building something similar.
