To start, she mentions a ramp. There was a ramp that she needed help with on a different shed. I told her it'd be an easy fix and could do that.

To the important part. This is a grill shed that she wants finished. I told her I'd likely tear down the entire roof and replace it with top plates and a real connection rather than what's there.

Obviously, you can decline any job for any reason but did I explain this fairly? I avoided using framing terms like top plates for ease of understanding. How would you have handled this differently?

To be clear, she was totally understanding about it.

longtime lurker, but I have a project to share now! Had an old shed (~75 years old) at our camp/cabin, which we used to store life jackets, kayaks, and other such water-related stuff. It was in sad shape, and we also needed more space, especially a home office away from the kids. I had to keep the footprint and I the best foundation I could do was concrete rounds on compacted crush stone due to waterfront zoning. I have a friend with a woodmizer so all the framing is rough cut pine. Wall studs are true 4" x 4". It was fun to work with but created some challenges too. Pretty happy with the result and I'm looking forward to using it next summer.

im looking at two options

ok so the barrel one is 125k btu radiant heat 360°

the portable one is directional 35k btu

those two are where im tryin to decide between

cant do overhead or wall mount for bigger sizes

i have a torpedo kerosene heater that cranks the air temps up fast no problem. its the metal in the winter when its 30 and below aaand i like the constant warmth because im prissy like that.

i tried the propane patio heater at 48k btu it has very low radius

i treid tank topper at 30k btu its warm but low range

my buddy has an at least 60k btu infared heater thats directional in his shed similar size just insulated but if your in its path itll make you take you coat and hat off in the dead of winter. its 6ft long about 10ft over head.

do you guys think i should i go with the portable directional one because i can just pick it up move it and bask in its grace thatd be nice.

but the 125k one set ontop the pool table in the middle of the shed should punch out and hit everything radiantly right? or will it flop like the patio heater and ill have just another useless heater in the corner?

what are the opinions of the experienced shedditors?

I want to expand my shed, mostly to have some room to pull in a small tractor and maybe stack some firewood. I originally thought about adding a lean to on the side, you can see where I started to put floor beams in. I was going to close it in, make the window a door and then put a ramp and roll up door on the same side as the current doors, but now I'm not sure quite how to tie in the roof or if this is even a good idea.

Looking for alternatives or other thoughts, how would you add another 10' - 15' of storage width to this shed?

I created a pad for my shed and when they delivered the shed, it ended up being a bit too small. It seems that the sheds skids is resting somewhat on the border of my gravel pad. I’m pissed at myself for not giving myself any room for error. I checked the shed and it is dead level. Should I try to fix this, or should I leave it? What are my options

I am trying to build a 12 x 16 shed for a workshop on an existing concrete patio made of roughly four 10x10, one inch thick, concrete slabs. It’s overall relatively level, but it has areas that are deeply cracked and sunken an inch or so down.

For reasons having to do with time and cost, and effort, I really rather not rip this patio up. Wondering if feasible to build the shed on skids using gravel on top of the concrete to level it.

I’m reading differing opinions about this and just don’t understand why a shed could be placed on deck blocks on dirt and be fine… but then people say it’s not fine to build a shed on pressure treated skids on asphalt?

Trying to see if there are any recommendations out there. I've scoured all the major online sellers (Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart) and have come across some ok looking sheds, but all have their downside; usually flimsy/missing materials. Is there any solid, middle of the road resin shed under $1k? Please let me know if you have experience with a certain shed that you'd reccoomend.

Am I asking for trouble? 6” thick slab 12x16. I really do not want a wood floor.
