First thing is first. You must pick out a site that the delivery truck can easily get to and put down your new shed. Access needs to be clear and free from trees, culverts, stumps, and any other obtrusive structure that can hinder delivery. It is important to note as well where your property line is so you do not accidentally have a corner of your shed on your neighbor’s property. Speaking of your neighbor, you might want to keep their view in mind so your beautiful new structure does not obstruct their view.

The next thing you will want to do is make sure the site is level. This is crucial to the structural support of your outdoor storage sheds. It is highly recommended that you or a professional, level the site and pour a nice thick concrete slab down. This will act as a foundation for your shed and will help it from shifting whenever the earth moves due to any kind of inclement weather. Trust me, you definitely do not want to skip this step or you can risk the shed eventually becoming unstable and falling to the ground.

If you decide that your climate does not go through the freeze and thaw cycle that most northern states experience, you can have a nice layer of crushed stone to act as your slab for the shed. It will work in much the same way as a concrete slab, but may be less expensive and more manageable for the do-it-yourselfer. Just keep in mind for easy mowing and weed control, that you might want to put down a substantial weed barrier under the crushed rock and leave at least a foot of clearance around the perimeter of your shed to catch rain runoff and to keep dirt from splashing up on the walls of the shed.
