1. Research! Start by determining the system you desire **Determine if a slide for your kit is available locally. This will save you close to 100$ on the cost of shipping a slide as freight from the manufacturer!** Kits (without the slide) typicaly includes: brackets / bolts / swing seats / chains / tarp roof (if included) and blue prints. Make note of what tools are required.
How much time do I have available to work on this project?
Can I use regular studs instead of pressure treated studs if I want to build a tool shed?My tool shed will have either vinyl siding or simply sidded with plywood and painted. Can I get away with using regular studs to help reduce the costs? Thanks.
Yes you can. we done that with our storage shed and covered it with plywood and vinyl siding. As long as the studs stay dry they will be fine.
you bet!!! as long as you create a seal between the outside elements and the wood itself. this can be accomplished using sealant and paint, or weather stripping and vinyl siding. Treated 2 by's would be your best bet for a long life, but certainly not necessary.
Well sure you can. If your house is frame construction, it's not built with pressure treated studs. If your shed is going to sit directly on the ground, you might want to have the bottom plate of the wall be of pressure treated lumber certified for ground contact..
Pressure treating wood products with preservatives prevents attack by insects, micro-organisms, and fungal decay. It is especially important to use pressure treated wood in hot and humid climates, or wherever wood comes in direct contact with soil or water. Treated wood provides a long- lasting product by greatly extending the service life of structures — both indoors and outdoors. It appears that your shed will need only base plate to be made of treated wood all remaining could be regular, it is not a permanent structure expected to last 25 or more years. Remember to use exterior grade plywood for siding. Interior grade will deteriorate quite fast 3 to 5 years in humid climate.
Yes, you can. Most commercial sheds are built that way. The wall studs will not be exposed to the weather. With the money you save on the studs, I suggest you put them 16 inches on center. Some commerical sheds have wider spaces between studs, but I think the walls should be supported by the same sort of structure many houses have.
Do it right or do it twice. Untreated wood is meant for interior use. Treated wood is resistant to moisture,termites,rot and mildew. If you still want to use untreated wood, paint any surfaces which will be in the ground,under the floor, or exposed to the elements.
you want the bottom pressure traeted.
DONT KNOW WHAT PART OF THE COUNTRY U ARE IN. SHED ON SLAB OR BLOCKS WOULD REQUIRE PT WOOD FOR BOTTOM PLATE OR BLOCK FLOORING. REMEMBER THAT VINYL SIDING SWEATS WITH TEMP. CHANGE AND REQUIRES A UNDERLAYMENT OF SOME SORT. 30# FELT OR TYVEK WRAP.
Your joists should all be pressure treated if off the ground. The bottom plate can be PT if the walls will sit on a slab. Depending on the style of the roof, you could even go to 2x3 which are significantly cheaper. You can also go 24" OC with 2x4s. A 7/16" or 3/8" OSB would be fine for sheathing. Some may recommend a housewrap of some sort due to the "sweating" of the vinyl. This is true, but considering that the shed will not be completely air tight and will assumingly have drafts if you are building your own door, then that is not neccessary. I would recommend however to go vinyl instead of the T-111 plywood walls to extend the life of teh shed from the elements. Good Luck.
You should be able to use standard wood studs on any part of the shed that doesn't come into contact with the bare ground. If your tool shed is going to have a wood floor, then use pressure treated wood for that part of it, & switch to regular wood for the rest.
Treated wood is resistant to moisture, termites, rot and mildew. So bottom line is keep the regular studs dry or go with pressure treated studs!
Yes, provided you have it raised off the ground on blocks or other foundation. That said, I'd still recommend you use treated lumber for the bottom framing, treated lumber is not that much more expensive, and the wood is usually better quality than the cheap studs they try to sell nowadays since the treated lumber has been graded before it was treated. If you use a wood floor in the shed, use treated plywood for the floor as well. I built one for my metal 10x10 shed, used 2x6 treated framing and 3/4 treated plywood, and set it up on bricks to get it of the ground--has been in use for 16 years with no problems.
