In this video, we show you how we built the Arrow Lexington 10x14 storage shed, purchased from Lowes on sale. This video shows some of the mistakes and challenges we encountered as newbies on this DIY build.

Part 1 focuses on the wooden floor build which will serve as the base for the storage shed. You can see Part 1 here:    • Storage Shed Floor Build by DIY newbi...  
We are not professionals, just your average couple taking on a DIY project. If anyone is interested on how to build a shed, we hope to help them learn from our mistakes and make it easier.

Total time for the entire storage shed project to be complete was approximately 26 hours. This was due to us only working on it a few hours at a time after work on different days and weekends so it can definitely be completed a lot faster. We spent approximately $900 on this DIY build.

Most of the tools we already owned and purchased some of the video accessories from Amazon.

We purchased the following items from Lowes:

Arrow Lexington Series 10 ft x 14 ft Storage Shed Kit
7 in x 11 in x 11 in Concrete Deck Blocks
8 in x 8 in x 16 in Concrete Blocks
2 in x 6 in x 10 ft Treated Lumber
2 in x 6 in x 16 ft Treated Lumber
4 ft x 8 ft OSB Plywood

    I accidentally destroyed my 10x8 Arrow shed with a tree limb. 😁 Now I'm building this 10x14 model so very useful video. 👍
  • Great job, showing the imperfections, in my opinion, says, no matter, you can do it.
  • @lavernabouzspain
    Wow! Great video! Thanks for showing the time track. I also like how you used the cross-concrete blocks, another similarity of my end goal. Your great video will aid me greatly. I have purchased a metal shed kit, similar to the one you put together. I have purchased both a 4 x 8 ft sheets OSB and plywood boards. Your video and time track will aid me in being patient with myself as I put mine together. Thanks for sharing your experience and God bless!

    I bought one of these 10’x14’ shed kits an assembled it myself in oct of 2021 ,did run into a few problems but it was suspected,however I was able to use hard ware supplied,also use clamps an cord string to help hold things together,when finished took a caulking gun an silicone an filled all cracks an around roof screws on inside have not had any water leaking inside so far but do anticipate it could in the future, I am also 69 yrs old but my neighbors an friends tell me it came out perfect. You can also put shelves inside to store up in barn roof areas!!!

    Looks good. Thanks for the video. I’m currently in the process of working on mine. I got a 10x8 arrow brand too, your video will help along the way.

    It looks cool but I think it’s for people up north or mild weather states. In TX, one storm into hurricane season and it’s out for heavy trash.

  • I followed your floor plan from the beginning to the end building that same shed but now I'm confused with how to anchor it down. if yours is anchored to your plywood can you share a link with me to where you purchased your anchor kit or screws. Any type of help would be appreciated......
  • @Thomas-nz4uh
    Before I start screwing my corner walls to the floor frame for the foundation I built like yours, would it be necessary to put maybe four screws in each corner of my floor frame to keep it from moving out of square. Any help would be appreciated, also this question is open to anyone who has put one of these metal sheds together.........
  • @JediFOMO
    How did u get ur panals on the left on . The crinkled edge was hard to shove under the bigger side of the roof panel .
  • @hetpatel1229
    How many of the wood do I need to make the base floor
  • @judmen123
    Do you need the roof trim? I need to replace the roof of my shed as it was old and collapsed under snow. The old roof had the trim and debris was just caught in it all the time. I would prefer to not use the trim . WHat do you think? Nice video.
  • @marksimpson5767
    I would need to modify the roof and sides. Where I live we get 125 inches of snow per season. Sometimes 2 to 3 feet in one storm.
  • This looks like its a hard project. I jus bought 10×8 on August 8th. Now I'm thinking of hiring someone build it
  • good vid. would be nice to see your cuts and quantity of materials. did you use full 4x8 sheets or cut the 8' side to 7'? I ask because i don't see the floor overlap since the shed is 10/14
