Hi everyone

i'm building a 10x15 shed
it will be 15 feet wide, so the joists are 10 ft long, and the 2
outside ledger boards are 15. plan on using 2x8 treated joists, 16 in
o.c.

my question is - how many pier blocks and where?

i was considering this:
each x is a pier block. so i alternate joists, and place one on every
joist in them middle - under the shed. does that make sense? is that
kosher?

any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. Thanks everyone

Wouldn't wider joists on 24" �centers with no piers be a lot less work
(and maybe cheaper)? Your present design seems suitable for heavy
machinery, so if that is not the intent, other schemes should be
considered.

you far better off with a concrete slab, it will last forever, never
rot etc. doesnt absorb stuff like oil spills, cant burn.

and animals cant build a home under your sheds crawlspace.

this wouldnt bother me, but drives my neighbors nuts
