Build base for resin shed.

While this type of shed base framing can definitely create a very solid foundation for your shed. Layout the foundation by using a mallet to drive wooden stakes into the ground at each of the four corners. Showing you how to make a foundation base for an outdoor shed. We made it for a rubbermaid roughneck 7x7 storage shed.

The grid also helps keep the base of the shed drier than concrete pavers. Use these standard steps and helpful tips to set up your concrete foundation. Take the four boards that you have cut for the outer edges of your foundation and use them to lay out the boundary of your shed foundation. The base should be the same dimensions as your shed but can be wider.

This type of base is designed to keep your shed up off the ground. Once the base is level fill the open grid with pea gravel. Then place some plastic down to help waterproof your shed then lay your pavers on top. The concrete foundation should extend a minimum of 3 inches past the base in all directions.

The grid holds the pea gravel in place and allows moisture to percolate through. In the images of the foundation from the manual they make it appear you need to have 27 of foundation space on each side. Pavers also prefer a gravel base but can go straight on flat level ground. To secure the shed simply dyna bolt the shed down to the pavers.

The manual lists the external base measurements as 96 x 74 and then they say the shed should be kept 27 away from any fence or wall until fully assembled. This type of shed base typically involves a number concrete molds into which you set 4 x 4 wood piers onto which the wood frame of the base is mounted. All you need to do is put some gravel or brickies sand down and level off the area. Verify the base measurements of your shed or storage unit.

The deck blocks will ensure that your boards are nice and square.
