Wood Floor Option
If you choose to construct your Vision storage shed on a wood foundation, follow
these recommendations to achieve the best results.
Use only treated lumber, as standard 2 x 4’s and plywood will deteriorate rapidly,
compromising your building in a relatively short time.
Avoid placing any wood components (even treated lumber) in direct contact with
the ground. Either support the wood structure on blocks or preferably, pour and
level a gravel base as a start to your project.
Using the materials list below, you may be able to have your lumberyard or
home center cut the required dimensions to speed your assembly. The platform
suggested is the minimum recommended. If you plan to store heavy objects
such as lawn tractors and equipment, you may want to place your framing on
16" or even 12" centers. For an extra heavy duty base, you can substitute 2 x 6
lumber for the listed 2 x 4’s.
Once your platform is prepared, check to be sure it is level. You want to avoid
water draining into the doors during rain storms, so it can be helpful to have a
very slight slope so water won’t collect at the front of the building.
Anchoring your shed is optional depending on your expected weather
conditions and can be accomplished by driving wooden stakes in the ground
at each corner.
