Set a shed straight on dirt and it sinks, tilts and traps moisture. A compacted baserock pad fixes all three.
Size it bigger than the shed
Extend the pad about a foot past the shed footprint on every side so water sheds away from the structure instead of pooling at the edges.
Frame, fill, compact
Frame the perimeter, fill with about 4 inches of Class 2 baserock, and compact it flat and level. The result is a stable, draining foundation that will not heave.
Why baserock
It compacts hard, drains well and stays put, which keeps your floor flat and your framing dry season after season.
