Make sure the site is within 6” of level.

Shed Foundation Recommendations

Here is some advice we offer homeowners who come to us with questions regarding site prep for their shed:

With a wood floor system, it’s best to set the shed on concrete blocks on the dirt if the soil is undisturbed and firm. If the soil is fresh, loose, or sandy, bring in a few inches of gravel or decomposed granite.
We highly recommend a concrete pad, as it provides a solid base for a shed, but it may come with an additional cost.

If you would like a recommendation for a concrete foundation installer or need help determining which shed foundation is right for your situation, please contact us. We’d be happy to help in any way we can!
