Default Building a storage shed

Our community has no requirements for footers for storage sheds.
Having said that, what is a good depth of footer for a shed that will
be 8x12? The shed will be completely made of lumber.


It depends where you live and what floor you want.
Most sheds do not have a foundation at all. They, like the one I built,
have a wood floor, set on 2 - 2"x 6" PT beams. They set on a concrete slab
that is part of a little used driveway.

If I could not set it on concrete, I would lay 5" thick -1" crushed rock
base.
