Although not required, we highly recommend making a "Stone Pad" for your new structure as there are many benefits to doing so:
*Provides great drainage
*Maintains levelness of structure
*The floor is supported the whole length of the structure
*Extends life of the structure
*Provides mowing/trimming edge (when timber frame is used)
*Aesthetically looks better, giving it a more finished look
We have found that 3/4 crushed blue stone works best as it naturally interlocks when compacted.
Pressure treated 4"x4" , 6"x6", 4"x6" or Landscape ties/timber are a good choice to make the frame of the pad.
When building a pad we recommend making it a foot larger on all four sides, for example: if your shed is 8'x12' your stone pad should be 10'x14'.
