In this video, I show you how to build a durable garden shed step-by-step from start to finish, using high-quality materials for long-lasting results. From leveling the ground to pouring a reinforced concrete foundation, assembling the prefabricated log house, and ensuring a watertight roof with slate-coated bitumen membranes, I cover every detail you need to know. Whether you're creating a space for small animals, a birdhouse, or simply upgrading your outdoor setup, this guide is packed with helpful tips.
Highlights covered in the video:
✅ Preparing the site with gabions and setting up a solid concrete foundation with steel rebar for extra durability.
✅ Installing conduits for electricity and water connections to power lighting, diesel heating, and outdoor surveillance like Reolink cameras.
✅ Unpacking and assembling the prefabricated log garden house, complete with windows and doors for natural light.
✅ Enhancing the roof with OSB boards, metal sheets, and a self-adhesive roofing membrane for maximum weather resistance.
✅ Setting up a functional gutter system to ensure proper water drainage.
✅ Planning the aviary extension for a unique outdoor space.
With clear assembly instructions and my tried-and-tested techniques, you’ll learn how to create a strong, versatile garden shed that can withstand the elements and serve as a cozy home for pets, birds, or even storage.
