Finally, I have a Wood Shed!

Really like the red stained shed ... classes it up.

Thanks for the tip on the paint. I'm in the process of building my wood shed and am considering the T1-11 plywood siding panel, but would rather see it painted than either left alone or stained. Sounds like the Benjamin Moore solid stain is the way to go as I would have some PT to also cover. I'm using a brown metal roof, so thought a nice weathered grey color would go well.

I thought I would use T111, but did go with cedar over pressure treated plywood.....expensive, but hope there is less maintenance. I recommend a100% acrylic stain.....

Hey stejus. I see this post is a couple years old, but I am just starting with wood this year. Never burned wood in my life and my wife is already after me to "hide" the wood so we don't look like hillbillies lol. I planned to build a woodshed and your's is EXACTLY what I pictured in my mind. Do you still have that excel sheet? It would be awesome if you could share that with me! Please let me know.

I have a spreadsheet posted if you are still interested.

I want to thank you for posting this thread, it will be immensely helpful to me come spring. I want to build something similar to this once the spring hits in '15. I have never really done any carpentry/woodworking so i found your pictures immensely helpful.

I am thinking for the sides of the shed i will use just wood lattice instead of t1-11 siding. Does this sound like a decent idea to everyone? The area where I will build the shed has some decent cover from surrounding pines. I figure with the lattice there will be better airflow through the shed and help it season even more. Or would i be better off just putting siding on it?

Lattice sounds fine.. I use tarps which allow airflow but keep rain out..
