Wood Brain Built Me The Ultimate Surf Shed!

 

Every surfers second biggest fear is running out of room for more surfboards (first biggest fear is sharks). And I was worried that maybe it was time to downsize my surfboard collection. So I had a heart to heart talk with Lindsay (Wood Brain) and she said it was time... Time to build something to hold more surfboards!!! 

Not only did she design and build it herself, she also added some fun touches that totally blew my mind. I absolutely love the magnetic whiteboard with all the surf photos- serious surf motivation. Is there anything you would change about this DYI surf shed build? Check this out:

I Built a STUNNING Shed in Just One Weekend

Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich

Hey friends! In this video, I’m building a shed off the back of our garage for my husband, Eric, to safely and neatly store his surfboard collection and other sports equipment. He’s been storing his boards in a corner of the garage where I had built a sliding-door closet. However, because my workshop is also in the garage, the boards were collecting sawdust and debris. Plus, his collection has grown over the years, making it clear we needed more space.

To solve this, I teamed up with my friends ‪@84LumberCompany‬ to build a custom shed in a previously unused area behind the garage. I started by switching the hinges on our vinyl fence so the gate opened in the opposite direction, giving us better access to the build site.

From there, I built the platform base using pressure-treated 2x4s, leveling as needed, and added a ¾-inch plywood sheet for the floor, sealing everything with paint and stain. I framed the back and side walls with 2x4s and ½-inch plywood, painting and staining the materials before assembly. Then, I tackled the front wall, which included a large opening for the doors.

The shed’s sloped roof mimics the garage roof, so I framed it with pocket hole joinery to make installation easier. Once the walls and roof were framed, I added a ¾-inch plywood roof, sealed the soffits, and installed PVC fascia boards. I’ve linked the videos I used for the roofing techniques below. Once the shed was complete, I installed a surf rack to store all the surfboards, along with other fun items!
