How Do You Build Garden Shed Foundations?
If you want to build a garden shed for potting or storage in your backyard, you may find that a professional contractor will charge you a lot of money for performing simple tasks such as preparing a concrete slab and assembling a modular shed kit. These are processes that you can easily complete yourself as a simple weekend project. The first steps to having your own garden shed are clearing the area, building a foundation form and pouring a concrete slab. Go to a home improvement store or hardware store and choose the concrete that is right for your project. Consult the packaging to find out how much area one package of that brand of concrete will fill, since this will vary. You will need enough concrete to pour and fill a standard slab that is 6 by 6 feet and 4 inches thick. Have the concrete premixed in the store to save yourself this step. Make sure that the area where you intend to have your garden shed is level and free of debris, plants and grass. You will pour the slab on-site.
