Preparing for Your Shed

Upon ordering your She She Shed, and while we are busy building, we ask that you do a bit of site preparation!  As you know, our sheds are incredibly well built and made of heavy, high-quality material weighing a minimum of 1100 pounds but in most cases, much more. In order to protect your investment in your shed, we ask that you:

Build a Leveled Pad - Your pad can be as elaborate as concrete or as simple as a limestone pad. By the way, most people do opt for a limestone pad, which is perfectly acceptable for this purpose! Either way, please make sure your pad is as follows:
  • Pad Size - We recommend your overall pad should measure between 6”-12” larger than the footprint of the shed you ordered! For example, if you ordered a 8' x 10' shed, you should build a pad that is up to 9' x 11'. If your shed comes with a porch please add 4'- 6' (make sure to base your pad on your chosen layout) to the footprint measurement.
  • Pad Depth - If you plan to use limestone, your pad should be 4” deep and we recommend the use of #57 limestone otherwise known as 3/4" gravel.
