Hey Shedditors,

I'm going to be sheetrock rocking my 10x12 premier Tuff Shed.

I'll be insulating everywhere I can, but I don't know what to do about the gable vent.

I'd want to do completely vaulted ceilings if I can, but I'm not sure if that is an option due to ventilation.

And I'm not installing soffit vents /ridge vent.

This is turning into a home office. It will be powered, and I will have a small ac unit for the shed.

What options do I have here?

- can I do vaulted ceilings all the way up (do I need to cover the gable?)

- do I need to run 2x4s across the roof so sheetrock sits below gable vents?

- what else?

Thanks!

Here's the 12x16 shed I built earlier the summer over the course of two weeks. I did everything myself except shingles. Garage needed to be re-shingled anyway, so I hired someone to do both at the same time. Plans came from Shed Kings.

There are some odds and ends I still need to do. The loft needs flooring, and I want to replace the vents, for example.

Thrilled with how it turned out. Much needed storage as the garage was converted to an ADU.

Back of shed is 6.5 feet in neighbors’ property. We’re both recent owners of our properties (within last 5-6 years) and the shed was built back in the early 90’s. I don’t think I legally have to move it, but would like to be neighborly and allow for more standard fence installation. Is it possible to shift over easily? Or is the only way a tear down?

Any ideas how I can cover up this fascia or should I just paint it

Pretty much done building them. 12x16 with two loft sections inside both.

Storage for wifey's business. This pic was on my phone so I used it. Someone didn't like the lack of pics so I logged onto my computer and added more images in the thread below.

This summer I added a 50x90 to my shop. The sheet metal cost 13k, $5 a lineal foot. The trim was $7500. Now normally sheet metal is around $3 per ft, but they charged more to match the pattern of my shop tin. Apparently its harder to find. Im very much taken back by the cost of the trim. $7500 seems very high to me. My contract also has about 20 pieces of trim he never used. He over ordered. What are your thoughts?

I’m turning one corner of my garage into a tiny workshop—and this is just the beginning!
It won’t be big, but it’ll be a dedicated space to build, repair, and experiment. Follow along as I transform this empty corner step by step. 👍
First up: the base. I used 6-foot 2x4s to build the frame, so getting started was pretty straightforward.
By the end of the day, I had one wall up and the workshop was finally starting to take shape. There’s still a long way to go, but I’ll be sharing the progress as it comes—so stay tuned!
And while cleaning up the garage, I stumbled across a spare E07A engine. 😂 Maybe that’ll be another project once the workshop is ready.

What is the move with these wall vents, all I can find online is the attic plastic baffles which has lead me down a rabbit hole on how to install those. Are plastic baffles and then insulation really what needs to be done here?

I’m in the PNW so humidity isn’t really an issue.

I’m assuming I’d want to put a vent cover on these before we drywall but I’m not finding a premade solution online.

Hey team, in the progress of framing up 10x8 garden shed. I’m concerned about the capacity of my piers/foundation. Here is some data:

-Western Washington
-shed on a slope so sonotubes used to establish flat platform
-(4) 10” diameter sonotubes varying depth. Front tubes around 18” into soil
-hand tamped the sh*t out of the native soil prior to pouring. Seemed to compact well

As I’m getting to framing I’m just growing concerned this thing is going to sink. I chatgptd this foundation design along the way and got the thumbs up a few months ago. I resubmitted my design to AI again and it was a little less sure of itself.

Any thoughts? Thanks!!!!!🙏🏻

Looking for ideas/options on shelves and running power..

Hey, guys, I just wanted to post this building my company put together this past winter using only purlins. It really turned out great, and the wind ratings, deflections, snow load, etc. were still really stout! Let me know if anyone is interested; we have standard pricing for these and can get them out quickly!
