This gravel shed base is easy and cheap to build without the need to pour concrete slab. It's great for a plastic resin shed like the Suncast shed or wood shed. This DIY shed platform will help protect your shed from rotting and give it a stable based that will not crack.

Nice work. As a project construction manager for over 35 yrs, I would like to advise you to never cut in the position you were in while cutting the 4x4. A kick back by the circular saw and you will slice your leg open. I have seen it 7x in my line of work. Always leave a clearance for kick back. Good luck.

Just some quick info and tips. That's not really for a weed barrier, it's to prevent the stone from sinking into the dirt. Secondly, if you have a groundhog problem put down some chainlink fence or chicken wire over the fabric, if prevents them from burrowing. They love to dig under sheds. Also let your pressure treated lumber dry out a bit before you paint them. Otherwise a good build.

Great advice about the groundhog burrowing issue. Where I live in the Southwest, it is a mama squirrel issue and for the second year in a row, she has burrowed under the shed that was incorrectly installed over bare dirt by the previous homeowner, my uncle, who should have known better. I will now have to wait for mama's babies to leave the underground nest a couple of months from now and then figure out what I will do to try to solve the problem.

Was thinking the same thing but instead of on TOP of the weed barrier putting it down first. In my mind, putting the weed barrier down first means those critters will try to get under it and destroy the barrier in the first place? IDK much about this stuff, so I could be wrong.

Instead of painting the PT wood black, you can char the wood with a propane torch. Darkens the wood and charring protects the wood as well , up to 100 years.

I like it. I recently did a similar base. I used pressure treated 2x4s instead of 4x4s and I didn't put down a weed barrier (maybe I should have). I put down a 2+ inch layer of sand and compacted that and then used pea gravel to fill it to the top of the frame. I was told, by my favorite gawkers, that it was over kill but I like a level shed with working doors.

Working doors are important, what you can also do is set some pavers under the door so it's square. This is what I did. You can see the pavers near the door, looks good, it's better on the feet, wheel barrel and squares the door.

Nice job, sir! In case people think of avoiding the weedblock cuz a shed will be on top, I'll point out that landscape fabric - or poly sheeting with holes poked for drainage - is there to prevent your nice gravel from sinking into muddy dirt. Depends on the type of soil, amount of rain and freeze/thaw cycles in one's particular area, but it's much easier to lay a barrier in the beginning of your stone project instead of a couple years later. Ask me how I know, LOL! Also, field cuts of PT lumber -- especially ground contact ones -- should be coated with preservative that soaks into the wood, such as CopperCoat. In my area Ace sells it but the big box stores don't.

I put 5" cedar fence slats at the bottom covering the siding to help with water splash against the bottom. They're cheap and great against rhe elements. Then applied silicone at all the edges where the cedar meets the siding. Im sure there are better more expensive solutions but for me it fit my budget.

What size drill bit did you use for the rebar? And what did you spray the PT post with?
@daP.A
@daP.A 3 ай бұрын
The drill bit was 1/2 I believe. The main reason I sprayed the PT was to make it look better and protect it little more. I didn't want it to get the old grey color as the PT ages. The spray paint should also help water from penetrating the PT just like any other paint protects the wood.
@on4acres
@on4acres 2 ай бұрын
The paint looks nice but it does not last long in the sun. I have painted with spray paint on exterior wood before and it fades very quickly. The real protection is from the wood being pressure treated. If you’re looking to skip a step this would be it.

@daP.A
@daP.A 2 ай бұрын
I could of just used the string but then I decided to just spray paint the outline and remove the string which I decide not too just to make sure my spray paint out line was correct and I could continue to measure the string diagonals. With that being said I probably should of just remove the string earlier than I did, it was there to ensure the box was squared and I could measure the diagonal. Obviously I did this live and looking back I could of removed it sooner. Btw another important thing is to measure the diagonal on the posts to make sure that is square which means that just digging a foot more on all directions than setting the posts down checking for square without using the strings is an option, but I like to make sure its square right off the bat and use the strings to do that. It's all a matter if preference.

You should move or make sure the neighborhood is cleaned. No issues here with rats.

forgive me being blunt but it's silly to say move & imply that your world is superior. It's all well & good until they come & reality is rodents are already wherever we are. 100% perfect environment for nesting, dry, easy burrow material, covered & no access for predators like cats. Easily reduce the odds with at least 18" depth of cage wire or rodent mesh all round inside the 4x4 (so 14 to 16 inch buried) assuming shed founded right up to 4x4. In the video example the exposed gravel area needs special measures - no problem, low expense use cage wire. Writing from very bitter experience my own & various neighbours' projects in the 4th least disadvantaged district in my country. Excellent video by the way, am inspired do similar good work..

In most areas you need a permit since is a permanent foundation. This method also is cheaper than concrete and its actually lo ess work. With concrete you still need to set forms and actually know how to work the concrete. Its method us cheaper, less work with way better drainage. It's also much simpler for the DIYers.

Subscribe to see how I anchored it. Obviously when building anything check code but with the crazy wind in FL it might not meet code, then again its not a permanent structure. Can a table be lect outside in FL. Regardless check codes to see if foundation is appropriate. Where I live its accepted since there's no permanent foundation. It has survived gusts of 60 mph winds with no issues, didn't even budge.

You did a great job. But it looks like a hard job, not easy. I'd rather pay $2200 to a cement contractor to have a pad installed.

With hard work comes reward, but I understand your point. 2200 vs around 400.00 is a bug difference though.

they should make environmentally friendly paint that you can spray onto grass and the ground without contaminating the Earth. People might say... "it's a small amount" but... 1,000,000 sheds x 1 million people spraying all sorts of chemicals into the Earth = a lot of contamination... :) LOL!

Sorry, Waste of time and money. Put portable barns on concrete blocks per the engineer drawings. That’s only if you buy a portable barn that’s engineer certified.

The base was cheap, around 350/400. 3/4 blue stone and PT wood does not cost 1000. It was about 200 for the stone and another 150 or so for the wood and other material. This is one of the cheapest bases you can get.
