If the location for your shed is a low-lying area that commonly floods or holds water, it is recommended that you block up your building using 4” solid cap blocks. A building that sets low to the ground will be easier to get equipment in and out of, so if you have solid soil with good drainage, you may want to put the building directly on the ground. Our floor system is made of ground contact treated lumber. The skids allow sufficient air flow between the ground & the treated floor joist. Another, more efficient alternative to blocks is to have a level pad of gravel or crushed concrete in place first. This will allow for an even distribution of weight, as well as a moisture barrier between the soil and the treated lumber. If you decide to use blocks, we do not provide them, so it is your responsibility to have the blocks on site at the time of delivery. You don’t have to lay them out in any specific order, just have them close by the site and our driver will position them.
