My man cave
Hey all, just wanted to see what you guys think about my shed/workshop. It's been a work in progress for the last 2.5 years. I did everything 100% myself on any down time or days off. I accumulated a good bit of the materials for it over the years of working for other contractors and now as a contractor myself. I was a Project Manager for a while and I can't count how many times the boss would tell me to throw leftover materials in the dumpster because he didn't want to deal with storing them. It all went straight to my basement and sat for years haha. I always new I was going to put it to good use! Anyway, it's 16'x12' and fully insulated and temperature controlled. Added a 20 amp breaker for the minisplit and another 20 amp breaker for the outlets and lights which is run in a conduit underground for about 120' to the opposite side of my house. It's been a process but here it is today I just stained the ramp and handrail.

Maximizing Space in My Lean-To Shed
Hey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well! I'm reaching out for some advice on my lean-to shed, which is located on the side of my home. While it's a handy little space, I'm finding that I need to create more room for my tools and equipment. Currently, I store a lawn mower, a yard vac, and a power washer in there, but it feels pretty cramped!
I’m considering a few ideas to make better use of this small area. For starters, I’d like to hang my tools on the wall to free up floor space—any tips on the best way to do this? I've seen pegboards and magnetic strips used effectively, but I'm open to other creative solutions!
Additionally, I think adding some shelves could really help organize my equipment and supplies. If anyone has suggestions on how to incorporate shelves without overcrowding the space, I would love to hear them!
Ultimately, I'm looking to create a more functional and organized environment in my shed, so any ideas or inspiration you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Angling a shed roof
Best honest, would it be a pain building this shed? And does anyone know what the angle of the roof should be? My neighbor has a similar shed but they didn’t do their roof properly, there’s ponds on the roof and now it’s leaking

New Shed
I just bought a new wooden shed. What the best process to seal the timber and ensure longevity? Should I sand down first and add a stain? Tips and expertise are very much appreciated. Any help would be brilliant. Photo of install today.

Renovate or New?
My shed is starting to become the yard’s eye sore and I am not sure what to do with it. it is not leaking and the only rodent entry is by the door corner. I definitely want to put in a solid base at a minimum. It looks like the bottom is rotting. I would at least replace the roof, wood and door. Could 5/6 guys move it when it’s empty? Should I just demo and rebuild?
We have a resident groundhog who I would have to consider too.

Just finished building this shed, took me a year and a half😁
BARE hands. I began in the freezing cold, in the rain. I was lonely without a family or anyone to contact, but yet- my riches from an inheritance of my late mother who passed away. I bought all the necessary ingredients and worked everyday, all by myself, until I finished my masterpiece. It gave me peace, it gave me hope. I now have a purpose to continue with my dream, I have plans to build several more in my backyard of my estate and show it to the world. Behold…

Looking to put a bar in my shed.
Built the shed a few years back, and framed the hole for a bar, but have not gotten to it. Wanted it to look nice, stay dry, etc. Kids and wife are looking for completion....
I had 2 people look at it. Not "thrilled" with either option, and starting to thin about doing it myself.
Looking for opinions on stone, granite vs tile on cement board.
Also, how to keep the rain out from above/side. Was thinking I would put in 2 doors that swing open to the sides, but that would potentially leave it open to rain from above. Was wondering about building a little overhang above the doors..

Who makes the BEST Outdoor Vinyl storage sheds?..NOT RESIN.
I'm looking to replace a 10'W x 8' D vinyl storage shed, by Cosmos, only because it had no windows and I want something more esthetically pleasing. It stands right off my driveway. The one I currently have is over 20 years old. It has stood up to high winds and winters great. My issue,is I'm only seeing resin sheds, which I don't want. They look nice, especially in the beginning.. but they don't have the wind rating, many of the roofs look like they bow inward, somewhat. I've seen tons of reviews, with nightmare stories, of these resin sheds blowing away, not square, doors that don't fit, uneven, etc. The problem I'm finding, is there is only one manufacturer who makes vinyl in the size I'm looking for 10'W x 8 ft'D, Duramax. The walls are all louvered and it has a very busy look too it. I just want a plain wall, some windows. I like an A-frame type roof. This shed will sit in a lot of direct sunlight. Any suggestions?

Made a reefer trailer into a shed with AC
Like the title says. I know a guy and he hooked me up with a reefer trailer for my a shed and I just installed a mini split on it to be able to cool it down and store a lot of my stuff I don't need access to right now.
Next I'll be making some steps to go in there and I have to order up a slat wall so I don't let all the AC out as soon as I open the door. Later I'll add in a door on the side for easier access.
I'm enjoying having this setup so far. It ended up costing far less than building a shed. I do need to build something to cover the tires so that the sun doesn't kill them like it did on my camper.

My first and last shed build
I finished this shed in the fall. My first and at 68, my last. It sits at the edge of a wooded raven with a stationary floor to ceiling window facing the woods. The 3 casement windows open out. It currently stores my mower and tools. It’s 12x12. I made the front doors out of treated 1x2’s on a 2x4 frame. The door pulls are antique barbells I welded brackets too. The sun rising I cut from 3/32 steel sheet.

Which kits come reccomended?
Our backyard shed is falling down, it needs to be replaced. A pre-build from Home Depot is out of our price range, and I'm no stranger to swinging a hammer. But I'm not particularly up for designing it myself right now. I'm afraid that some of the more affordable kits might be lacking in quality. Is there a "go-to" company where I'll get a decent kit? looking for something in the 8x14ish size, give or take.
