Even small sheds you buy are recomended

The reason sheds are allowed to have pads is because they float up and

Presumably the house stays in place because it has a foundation. *If
you attach something rigid to the house, it must not move up and down
or it will pull itself away from the house.

Why not its a deck, and mine is fine after 35 years doing it, You dont
have doors or windows to worry about I still say its overkill as I
have had no problems. If it had doors or a roof attached to the home
then it would need piers.
