What's this?

I would avoid the slab. Expensive to build.


And if you ever want it gone it’s a pain and also expensive.

Sheds don’t require a lot of support and you can put corner posts on the ground (on top of cement in the holes) instead. I also like have the elevation for any future access to the sub floor and if you ever remove it all you do is fill the holes.

Concrete would be overkill in my opinion. It also retains cool temps so it can impact the temp in your she shed.

  I'd put the shed on blocks and use the slab as a patio to it -- Burruss Writer 05/06/2021 1:12PM
  Instead of a slab, how about pavers for the patio? -- EDGEMAN 05/06/2021 2:29PM
