New Cub House
Wife gave the thumbs up to a new "shed" today.... gonna be larger than the typical 8x10. Thinking about using reclaimed lumber for the build but have to do some research. I'm thinking of building it 12x16 and a little more headroom. Than typical for a crane beam down the middle of it. I will start with making some drawings and post some progress.. I'm calling it the "Cub House" after the wife said I wanted a club house lol. Anyway, should make for a respectable place just for Cubs. My detach is full of other toys and she wants her car in garage for the winter... anyone here ever do a reclaimed lumber project? Would love some input with working with old lumber..

I've used "reclaimed" lumber a million times to build things. It builds the same as anything else. Unless your using oak... then good luck. Only tip: get all the old nails out. They're hard on saw blades.
Just my but I'd make it bigger. Twice the size you think you need will still be too small in a year or two of use. Here is the shop my brother uses. The main building is the shop and we added the lean-to when I went on that trip. He since added another lean-to (same size) on the other side. He still needs more room. |

My shed is 12x16 and has a 4' tall loft for storage. It's not to bad to work out of if its kept clean, I can get 3 Cub's in it but have to move 2 out if i need to work on one. Here's a thread with some pics of my setup.

Congrats on the shed build!
I have a shed built from reclaimed lumber, only thing i have to add is not to sacrifice integrity on lumber size, shape because its used.

I agree with Jon, think as big as you can afford, and usable space, cause when you're done building it, it becomes to small real fast...

I agree with Todd and Jon.. make it bigger.. 12x16 will get small in a hurry.. no matter how big you build it will fill up..
I built a steel shop in 1998.. original plans were for a 20 x 20.. then a 25 x 25.. found out for just a bit more in materials I could have a 30 x 30 for about $700 more.. cost per square foot was waay better on the 30 x 30

Thanks for the tips guys. I don"t need to go huge. I own a pretty large facility for my company so if I need extra space I turn to that. This is going to be used primarily for working on Cubs and other yard type equipment and not so much for storage. Couple guys I know here said the local reclaimed lumber is really hard and dense. I'm not talking about reclaiming pallets but reclaimed vintage lumber. We have a guy here that takes down old barns, houses, buildings, Etc and reclaims the lumber. You can buy it as is or cleaned and trued up through his mill which is the way I would go I think. Most of what he reclaims is between 100 and 200 years old. I'm sure if he is running it through his mill he is careful with nails. I'll have to take a ride to his yard and see what he's got.

I'm pretty sure here in Georgia you can't use reclaimed lumber on a new structure if it is going to be permitted & inspected. Anything here over 120sf must be permitted so I would check with them first if you are pulling a permit. Hopefully you can just build it and not have to pull one.

We don't have to "permit" to build anything where I live. If you live in the county seat, you have to get a "building permit" to build. But that's basically you paying off the law enforcement to leave you alone while you build. Or give them a reason to stop and ask if you have a building permit....

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
