[DIY] Building a Bicycle Shed Part 4!!

# DIY Bicycle Shed Project Part 4

The shed construction, which has progressed through the frame, roof, doors, and bicycle rack, is finally in the home stretch.
This time, I will report mainly on the "finishing" process that really pulls the look together.

## Adding trim to the base

I attached light-colored wood trim (decorative molding) to the bottom of the black-painted plywood panels.
I also processed the corners to butt together cleanly, fitting perfectly into an L-shape.

The contrast between the black and the natural wood is effective, and this little extra effort instantly gave it a "well-crafted" feel. It's a small detail, but I realized that these kinds of details really determine the final result.

## Finishing the sides with louvers

For the sides, I am attaching louvers (slatted boards) made by lining up thin pieces of wood at equal intervals.
The work of lining up the wood tightly from top to bottom was tedious, but once finished, the design looks completely different.
The way the light-colored wood louvers are regularly arranged against the black frame makes it look like a store-bought garden storage unit.

This has instantly transformed the rugged iron-framed shed into something with a designer warehouse vibe.

## Adding shingles to the roof

Then, over the roofing felt, I applied asphalt shingles (roof finishing material), overlapping them one by one.
Changing from the gray waterproof sheet to a dark brown, scale-like roof instantly makes it look like a "real shed."

**"Just a little more!"**

Just as the words say, it was the moment I could see the completion.

## Painting the screen door panel

I inserted a wooden panel into the fence door on the side where I take the bicycles in and out, and painted this dark brown as well.
The contrast between the ruggedness of the chain-link fence and the burnt-colored wood adds a nice touch.

## Looking at the whole thing

Comparing it to the beginning, when it was just a steel frame, it has truly become something else.
The black frame, the shingled roof, the louvered sides, and the wooden door. Even though the materials and colors should be mismatched, it has strangely started to look cohesive.

## After finishing the work

Honestly, I didn't think it would be such a long project, but it was simply fun to see it look more like a shed with each step, and before I knew it, I had reached this point.

Next time will finally be the real final episode, where I can present the completed project. Look forward to it!
