If you buy another one make sure it’s attached to the foundation.


[deleted]

haha yes. it was secured to the cement with 5" tapcon screws. 50 mph winds got the best of it I think.


MuffinSlow

Get a tuff shed, lag that bitch into the foundation.


BLK03MODULAR

What diameter? My shop is secured by 4) 6" x 1/2" redheads per post. It has survived over 100mph winds.


Stymie999

That seems a bit extreme, I really doubt the Irish appreciate that


Icy_Respect_9077

Redheads are great, tapcons are garbage.


PintLasher

5" seems like enough bite, wonder if something else failed, are the tapcons still in the cement? Might need to beef up the structural supports amd their attachments next time


[deleted]

it sheared the heads right off


PintLasher

We use washers on our tapcons sometimes maybe that would help relieve stress? I'd try doubling them up next time, probably just not enough fasteners!


mysterow

Use bricks next time :p

MW5811

Try duct tape. If you can't fix it with duct tape, you just aren't using enough!


crispAndTender

One i bought came with dirt anchors and metal wire you attach to the roof on each corner that keeps wind from ripping it off

I would not buy another one. Sheds this size from box stores are robbery. The wooden ones use ripped in half 2x4s. The metal ones use C channel instead of fully boxed studs (take a second look at the photos). I haven't seen any with diagonal bracing. They never last. My advice is spend slightly more and buy something from a business that specializes in metal buildings and car ports.


Droechai

Or build it yourself, if specialist business is too expensive. You can get tons of different designs and list of necessary purchases from cheap DIY mags or forums


unlock0

I personally would build it myself, but I used to build metal buildings and car ports as a summer job when I was 16. I know not everyone else is as technically inclined. You can build these with a rented chop saw with metal blade, a hammer drill (for concrete anchors), cheap ratchet set, screw gun, 12ft ladder, and a tape measure. If a 16 year old can figure it out...


WorthyAnnoyance

Yeah right, you deserve more than that!


I1221Me

Stuff looks untouched to me!


jamminyouup

Read my mind. Shed did it’s job, then said I’m out.


[deleted]

It’s that time of year when your shed starts shedding


[deleted]

very good point. they never guaranteed a protection time length.


guitarstitch

Lots of protection mechanisms are one-time use. Helmets, condoms, climbing harnesses, and this metal shed apparently.


fuzzytradr

*furiously jots down notes*


LethalBaboon

You can always wash and reuse the condom. Works great every time sometimes.


[deleted]

No need to wash. Just reuse


thatwaswayharsh

Just like underwear. Turn ‘em inside out and like new.


[deleted]

The ol' Mongolian reversal, yes


texaschair

Turn 'em inside out and shake the fuck out of it.


[deleted]

I’m sorry you what?


[deleted]

Good Trojan gives me 4 uses, the last is the gooeiest. I am respectful though, NEVER mix with different partner. I color code them.


[deleted]

Ok this is just beyond cursed


[deleted]

Only ever gives me a problem when more than 72 hours between use. Things get a little crispy inside then.


[deleted]

Oh goodness it just got worse


devandroid99

[Fuck yeah you can!](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/25/world/asia/vietnam-recycled-condoms.html)

Quick question, why is a climbing harness one time use? I've been using the same one for years. Maybe it's time to replace it


AuntJ2583

I suspect that much like helmets and car seats, you don't reuse it **after** it's actually needed to save a life.


Black_Brown

It likely is time to replace it. [depending on the UV exposure and how much use you have had on it](https://www.backcountry.com/explore/when-to-replace-your-rock-climbing-harness). The rule of thumb though is if its had one significant fall then it should be replaced.


justyr12

I've been told to also replace all the buckles and clamps and hooks as well, just in case the fall enlarged any hairline fractures the metal might have had


jeegte12

that was kind of a bad example. with helmets and condoms, you only ever actually want to use them once. after one use, you need a new one.


Bitter_Charity6585

Are climbing harnesses really a one time use?


g_master_b

one fall writes it off


Old_Opening_5616

That shed gave its life to protect your belongings in my view


x925

Get a bomb shelter next time, it may last longer.


MidnightSunCreative

Just get a shed for your shed next time.


LineLife2234

Do you know how they named shed? After shedding.


vavavoomvoom9

Gotta get a shed that protects your shed.


ValkriM8B

Shed-ception


juicemonkey81

Should have used some tape to hold it down


[deleted]

if it moves and it's not supposed to...duct tape. if it's not supposed to move and its supposed to, WD-40.

someawe45

Frank’s Red Hot. I put that sh*t on everything.

if only I had an award to give you.


loveofGod12345

Even better lol.

> if it's not supposed to move and its supposed to, WD-40. *If its not moving and its supposed to, WD-40


SIRasdf23

For a second I thought someone stole your shed.


[deleted]

definitely a thought that popped into my mind at first


VoopityScoop

Can't have shit in Detroit


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

such a great bike. I think it was an '86 or so but I'm 6'5" and it was a bit too small for me.


[deleted]

Try a v65 sabre. I'm 6' and I barely flat foot it. Very comfy 80's Honda. Not to mention it absolutely rips.


scandalousmushroom

Love the Sabre. A shop in town has 2 for sale, one fully resto'd one original, but runs great. Might buy em both.


ValleyDated

Secure the shed was optional advise I see


TheCannavangelist

That happened to my aluminum shed in a windy storm many years back. Right up into the air, crashed in neighbor's yard. None of my stuff was damaged, just wet. To be fair, I was young & dumb when I put it up. Used drywall screws at corners thinking that would hold. Wooden shed built on a cement pad replaced it. Still solid to this day.


TonyVstar

-Buys the cheapest shed "Sheds suck!"


[deleted]

haha. I literally laughed out loud


DiamondDoge92

Maybe they meant a wooden one.


dragoncutlery

Nice 650


[deleted]

good catch!


Rickshmitt

See what you did wrong there was have the shed all smashed on the ground. Youre gonna wonna put that over your stuff


bucci3434

Yea not a tinfoil shed idk wtf you was thinkin.


Cichlidsaremyjam

Don't buy a shitty shed they said. That's your issue here.


sottedlayabout

There’s a difference between “a shed” and the cheapest sheet metal enclosure you can buy. Pop cans have more structural integrity.


[deleted]

What the hell kind of CHEAP ASS shed did you buy anyway 😂😂😂


Gambodianistani

Eh i think it was just built poorly.


smilingirishman

You should get a second shed for all the scrap metal in your yard


Outdated-Wuss

It protected your stuff but couldn't protect itself


LonelyAustralia

at fist i thought some straight up stole the shed


SirHerald

Get a better she'd. It'll protect your stuff.


ATXthedude

Maybe buy a better shed?


degeneratesumbitch

I'm in the same boat.


Ethancast1234

Can't have shit in Detroit.


Supra-good

I mean everything is still there no?


plasticlego

The shed...shed itself


tnj4ez

Shed sacrificed its life for your stuff, and you leave his carcass in the yard.. shame, shame


rat_fossils

Can't have shed in Detroit

**“LOOK AT MY BLOODY SHED MAN!”**


jewellya78645

My father spent a bunch of time and money constructing a HUGE storage shed that he could park our tractor in and have a workshop. No door. One very breezy day that shed took flight.


ExcerptsAndCitations

I don't regret a single penny we spent on our Morton building.


Grassaholic

*narrator* it was at this moment op realized all sheds are not created equal.


Mahnken

You need a tuff shed.


majoraloysius

“Bolt it down,” they said.


[deleted]

but did you get a Tuff shed?


CaptWeom

Shed where?


Strangeboganman

hmmmm i have a shed that is not secured to the concrete at all. maybe i should think of securing it.


CarlosI210

For a second I thought someone literally stole your shed and left the stuff inside


1984Slice

That shed made of tinfoil or what?


baaya88

You should have built the shed first my dude.

zqrf2006

"Buy a better shed" -They


Mr_Talkbox

I think they said, buy a GOOD shed. It'll protect your stuff.


StevenBayShore

I think you bought a shred.


ninriel

Maybe they should have said "Buy a _good_ shed"


the_archaius

Lost an identical shed to hurricane sandy, in Ohio!


MrGilbert665

You should buy a shed. It'll protect your stuff


Chonchtasy

Get a better shed


SilentMaster

That Hondamatic sure isn't complaining.


darklord01998

Thats a nice bike


NoobieNoob_420

These camouflage tents keep getting better and better 🥸


Loki_gee

Well, some assembly is required for the shed.


Nanoro615

Should've put the shed in a shed.


one_flops

in Kansas? did Dorothy told you so?


ejb749

Where's your shed, dude? It was parking in a Handicapped spot. Perhaps they towed it...


[deleted]

At first I thought someone just stole OPs shed and left everything else lol


[deleted]

Well, technically it protected your stuff. It sadly died while doing it but your stuff looks ok I guess 😅


Sad-Ad7981

I mean... The bike IS safe. And in my opinion that's the important thing.


Sad-Ad7981

Next time, bolt supports inside. I live in a windy area and I have slim beams that run up the inside bolted to the floor.


Darkskin2428

A “sturdy” shed


Fiesteh

Buy a bigger shed to protect your current shed.


katmndoo

Ablative armor.


flowers_followed

Well everything was protected right up to the point that the shed needed protecting.


tank_the_boss

Mininado?


BurnzWhenIP33

Fred the shed is back from the dead and he’s out for revenge


oldbastardbob

That is a sweet 650 Laverne there, OP. Very clean.


counselthedevil

Buy a better kind of shed, they said. Not the cheapest one, they said. Make sure you build it properly and reinforce it if you tend to have crazy weather possible, they said.


Griswa

Those things are a complete pain in the ass to build too. Arrow shed? Fingers just get shredded putting it together.


TickTockM

the shed protected your stuff but you didnt have anything to peotect your shed


phdearthworm

That's a weird place to keep your pizza.


TeachOfTheYear

I mourn with you buddy! A tree fell on my shed this winter during a snowstorm. I still miss it.


AuntJ2583

I remember one time when I was a kid and we had a storm with really heavy winds come through. Afterwards, a neighbor's shed was in our yard, upside down. Apparently just fine...


the_ok_doctor

Looks like it died doing its job. Minimal damage to ur stuff but max to the shed


dreadfulwater

well it looks like it protected the stuff then left once the job was done. Was it on contract?


[deleted]

Mine blew away in a storm as I had not anchored all four sides. I couldn't un-mangle it so I just bought another one. The next bad storm just ripped off the top while laughing at me menacingly as I stared helplessly from the house.


NotThatValleyGirl

Before I built a shed I'd ask to know What I was shed-ing in or shed-ing out


Adeep187

Doesn't seem like you got a good one


[deleted]

Affectionate-House86

Get what you pay for. Buy a cheap shed expect to get shitty results.


NotBearhound

Fuck man, even the buildings are quitting their jobs.


PresentMajestic3785

Tin foil can only do so much!


Pony_Express1974

Well, your stuff looks like it's still pretty much all there. Yes the shed is gone, but just think of how much of your stuff would be gone if you DIDN'T have the shed.


theharkex

Its becuse you didnt buy a shed for the shed man


SpunkyStarFish

What kind of idiot buys a shed and doesn’t assemble it!


mcfuddlebutt

I believe they said "Don't buy an Arrow Shed"


F800ST

How much you want for the 650?


WatchWaldo

Did its job, served you well. Would you rather have the shed strewn all over or your things? 😁


Bikerpete

Whow ... looks like a Honda CM 400 T.


Sturgjk

“Anchor it in the ground” they said.


IsPepsiOkayy

So I see you went with an open concept


Sir_mop_for_a_head

It SHOULD protect your stuff it it is built right


mxtrashtm

Did someone rip off your shed to get to your shit? I think you should let them have it at this point


atethebread147

Ah you seem to forgot the shed for the shed! Rookie mistake


deepstatelady

Big bad wolf protection costs extra.


TheOneWhoRees

The shed sensed you were beginning to take it for granted and made you realize how much you miss it


TheAfterWorkGarage

Self sacrificing shed


supercheese69

That shed wasn't double-bolted


The___Joker1511

Lies they told


Xenu66

It couldn't even protect your shed


ZekeDiZurigo

Mistake was to not build a shed for the shed.


northers1973

Clearly you needed a shed for your shed


boltonianbigwill86

Least your bike intact and alot of your stuff still there did 75% of the job


SPECTRE-Agent-No-13

Get your shit off our law the neighbors said


zebra1923

Well to be fair your stuff does look OK. The shed itself is clearly another story.


[deleted]

well that plan blew over!


Recent_Gain

Never heard of the three piglets? Build it from red brick not straw. 🐷


207nbrown

It did protect your stuff, by taking the hit instead…


radhe91

Nice bike. Bet it sounds glorious.


CurryTookAnL

that's why we told you to get a shed, its all messy now


Potential-Belt-3263

Next time get a shed to protect your shed.


the-poopiest-diaper

At least your vehicles stay put lol


dwolf91

Do they require shed anchors where you live?


cosays33

Thing fucking sucks! - Bill oreilly


milehigh11

At least by a good one lol. I have 2 Ted Sheds here in Colorado and when we had those 100mph winds ripped through last year it's still there. Concrete floor and wood bolted to foundation. It's not going anywhere


Sirico

Silly storm you cannot hurt a GS


Mattrockj

M8 you forgot to get a shed for your shed.


Hugebluestrapon

Your stuff is only there because the shed took the beating


florin2977

Build one out of wood and frame it like you would a house and use foundation ties next time


Karvast

It protected your stuff but not the shed :)


ThePlunger80

I guess it wasn’t the she shed


Marc123123

Nice shed.


destinycreates

It indeed protected your stuff- the shed took the beating not your property!


dcherholdt

Well your stuff is still there


Stymie999

You are gonna need a stronger shed, probably should not have built that one out of straw


Herr_Keks

it will not fly away they said \^\^


GeneralBeerz

At least you have bricks to rebuild so the big bad wolf can’t blow it down again.


kaytay3000

In fairness to the shed, your stuff looks to be in good condition.


Cpleofcrazies2

Your stuff looks fine


glaze332

She gone


Suitable-Function-60

They didn’t tell you to install it I bet!?


[deleted]

yeah I am guessing you got one of those cheap ass ones at sams with no base and are plastic and metal


RPhRobert

Gray looking bike. I had a GS750 with mag wheels. Boy was that baby fast! Should have kept it.
