Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where can I have a shed on my property?
2. What does a shed have to sit on?
3. Does a shed need a foundation?
A proper foundation can minimize settling, moisture damage, and structural issues while extending the life of your shed.
4. Does a shed foundation help prevent settling?
Yes, during the grading process the ground gets compacted by the equipment. Then a woven ground cover is placed (if no concrete is going to be used) to help stabilize the soil, prevent gravel from sinking into the ground, and reduce weed growth. After that, gravel is placed on top and compacted.
5. What size should the foundation be?
6. Will the area around the shed be usable or treated?
7. How level does the ground need to be?
8. Can a shed sit on blocks?
Depends on the condition of the grass, is the ground wet. If it’s dry, there is minimal damage other than the immediate work area.
9. What equipment is used to prepare the pad and will it damage my yard?
Professional grading and compaction equipment is used carefully to prepare the site while minimizing disturbance to surrounding areas.
10. Does the foundation use rebar?
Rebar is only used to hold the 4×6 wooden barrier in place, and in concrete. Wire mesh can also be used in concrete.
