seeking advise for shed project
wrote
I know concrete foundation is best way to go, but am wanting a way to build
this thing that I can do by my self. I don't have anyone I can impose on
to
help, so would have to pay someone.
Understood.
difficult....The other idea I had was to build on blocks...and not sure
what
is best way of doing this...I am positioning this thing in location where
I
have poor drainage..heavy spring rains can result in several inches of
water
I was going to ask that. How's your drainage. I'd go with a buried
cinderblock design and gravel fill then posts in the holes.
in this area. I thought of digging out sod about 6" or so deep by 12"
wide?
and filling with crushed limestone stuff.....compacting/leveling then
laying blocks on top and building shed on top of this...does this sound
feasible?
Yes.
would I cement the blocks together? also Andy I do not know what
Yes, I would but I'm looking a a pillar type of construction, not a solid
wall. This due to drainage. The only other part, is I'm not sure if just 1
center post will be sufficient. I'm thinking 2 about 1/3 way in (center)
might be better over time. Especially if you plan anything remotely heavy
in there.
