Planning to build a 10' X 12' storage shed and have some questions....Right
now just want to work out plan for foundation...I want to construct this
thing so that the floor sits about 1 foot above the ground level. Do not
want to pour a concrete slab, and want a solid quality job. Here is what I'm
thinking of doing. Oh one other thing, frost line here is 42"......I was
thinking to cut treated 4 x 4's to 60" then dig down 48" into ground at
each corner, then cementing them leaving 1' of post above ground. I plan to
then put 4 x 4 posts every 4' so 12' sides would have 4 posts and I guess
just 3 posts for 10' sides with just one post in center. then bolting 2
treated 2 x 6's to posts, the top ones would be the outside floor joists.
Then using 10' 2 x 6's every 16" for rest of the floor joists. then 3/4
plywood floor. Does this seem like reasonable plan? and could I get by with
crushed rock instead of cement for 8 non corner posts and using shorter
lengths, like 36" with just 2' in ground? Thanks, any help appreciated.
