Shed Base
A gravel base is what we recommend for your Crawford shed.
The purpose of a gravel base:
- Keep the shed high and dry,
- Provide proper support
- Allow water to drain away from your shed
- Allow airflow underneath the shed.
- Ensure all windows and doors open and close properly
Size of base:
We recommend the base to be 12” inches bigger than the size of your shed, (example 10 x10 shed, the base would be 11 x11)
Gravel size:
¾”- 1” clear stone
Thickness:
3-4” of gravel
Preparations:
Excavate 3-4”, place geotextile landscape fabric down and then spread the gravel evenly. You may have more gravel on one end of your pad than the other because of a difference in the grade which is fine. The area must be completely level. In some cases, a retaining wall may be required to support the base.
**Most importantly make sure that the entire base is level**
