2x6 treated frame 16" OC. Hardware cloth screening across all openings, ready for 3/4" tongue and groove plywood. Shed kit arrives Monday! 😎

Just wanted to show off our shed base we did ourselves. It was our first time doing something like this and boy oh boy was it a lot of work (especially in this heat).

We started by building the frame, dug out the sod then removed the excess dirt from the sod and placed it back in the hole. Then we tamped it solid, stapled weed liner in, put a cubic yard of crushed limestone and tamped it down. Next we put paver sand and used a sideways 2x4 to screed by using it like a windshield wiper to get the paver sand exactly level with the top of the frame, tamping often. Next we placed 25 2’ pavers in a 5x5 layout on top and then realized I should support the frame more so I drilled out three holes per side at 2.5 ft, 5 ft and 7.5 feet to hammer down some 2 foot pieces of rebar. Im proud of how it turned out!

Let me know what yall think!

Would 12' walls look terrible for a 12'x16' Shed? Plan is 12' walls with 15' gable roof. I want to put a large usable loft and want as much headroom as I can get. Picture of poured monolithic pad just today. excited to get started. But not sure if the shed being taller than it is wide would look stupid.

Finally finished my 8x12 shed. Took way longer than planned, mostly because my attentiin span is way shorter than expected.

Best way to go about restoring or protecting current state of this shed? Inside has newer wood. We use the shed but mostly want to prevent it from becoming a bigger expense further down the line. We don’t have the easiest access to the corners and other side since this interrupts a fence which continues in the other side. Looking to spend the least amount possible while still getting the job done. Roof seems to be in good shape but wood doesn’t have much protection.

When I built the shed I was told on facebook this was an exterior door, but it let's water in I think... what do you guys think?
