Outdoor Storage Unit - How to Build

I don’t think I can ever adequately describe how much I love your videos. They’re so helpful, straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you!!

I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project youtube.com/post/UgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6… It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.

Very nice build, I learned a few tips as well. I liked the idea of overdrilling the hole so the screw slides through. Lining the box with plastic would have never occurred to me. Thanks

These are my favourite types of your vids Stuart - nice, easy to follow, mini videos for a specific DIY project. I didn't even realise cordless staplers were a thing, I've always used the same as yours albeit a Dewalt version. Liked the close up of your laser mitre - and it reminded me that i need to dig out your "how to set a mitre to 90 degrees" video as my blade is currently slightly off from the laser bizarrely so i'm not getting particular good cuts at the moment!

I’m an absolute beginner wanting to make a storage box for things at our family cottage dock. Your videos are super easy to follow. I particularly liked your tip about the pilot hole being larger on the first piece so it grabs the second.

Love this book! youtube.com/post/UgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5m… it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

Stuart your standard of work is 10/10 … clearly taking your time and having some good kit really makes it easier 👍🏻

Nice that you hilight correct size pilot holes and the clamping effect of screws - I only discovered this recently - couldn't suss out why no matter how hard I tried sometimes timbers wouldn't clamp together - then I realised they were always being held apart by the thread. I always go for partially threaded screws these days - such as Screwtite, very good.

Great job. I happened to build a similar box a few months ago. I did not have access to feathered edge boards which created a problem with the lid. I used 2x3 rather than 2x2 for framing. I wishi had those hinges to keep the open lid vertical. I used castor wheels rather than short legs. Ultimately, I ended up with a heavy box. Your design is neat and the finished product awesome.👍

And here I thought I was the queen of using fence pickets to make things. This storage box is brilliant!! I made some patio furniture out of fence pickets and 2x4's but storing the cushions was always a headache. This box solves that problem, looks quite smart, and costs a fraction of Ikea. Thank you, thank you!! 😊

Great vid, like you I've been pricing up garden storage and nearly had a heart attack, this one looks a lot better & will be much stronger too. Another project for me to get on with!

I liked the quip about the track saw, I use the same type as you!😁 I know many makers swear by them but a circular saw and a bit of time making a straight edge does the job for me. I even use the same type of cordless stapler. Great box and easy to follow instruction. Brilliant!👍

Brilliant!! Straightforward.... no frills . To the point and great advice. Keep them coming

I've just finished an adapted version of this. One half of the box hides our ugly gas meter whilst the other is enclosed to serve as storage for parcels etc if we are away. I followed Stuarts methods and am really pleased with how it turned out. It blends in nicely against our cottage wall. Keep up the excellent content Stuart!

Cracking build, nice and simple explanations. I might add a small chain or cable to the lid to stop it possibly opening too far by accident. Great stuff.

Brilliant as always - I now have exactly what I need for making a couple of cold frames - just by not putting in a bottom & a slight change to the top Like some other comments i would love to ses some stuff about stuff made solely out of reclaimed wood & pallets as you need to take out a mortgage to buy timber these days - just finished an open sided 7 X 4 by 6 foot log / wheelbarrow / fertiliser etc store out of old fence posts a privacy screen & side gate & 4 or 5 pallets & it still cost far more than i expected just buying additional battening & OSB for the roof

Thanks Stuart for another enjoyable informative proper diy project. I would suggest and appreciate a pergola project attached to your house above your patio doors.

Great job - just what I was after having seen prices from £1.5k - £2k for a patio cushion storage box. Like the tip on getting the plastic fixed before the feather board.

Anyone else give Stuart’s videos the thumbs up before even watching because they’re consistently great videos and never been wrong in giving thumbs up ?! Another enjoyable video thank you Stuart 👍

Always a great watch Stuart, I would love a workshop like yours keep up the great work 👍👍
