11:07 am Pole Barn Plans

Your shed’s foundation is one area where planning and taking extra time to ensure it is done right will ensure your investment will last for years to come. There are different types of shed foundations for you to consider and I will go over a few in this article.
The easiest foundation of all is a dirt floor and this is acceptable for a pole type barn. However, if your shed has actual framing of the walls it will need to sit on a level, stable, and dry surface to function properly.
I water drainage is not an issue you can simply place your shed on 6 inches of crushed gravel. I prefer that you place blocks on this gravel and then place the sheds floor supports on these blocks to keep the shed up off the ground.
You could also use a concrete slab but this is expensive and most homeowners are not comfortable pouring their own concrete slabs. Also, if you use a slab you must remember that concrete absorbs water and you must use pressure treated wood wherever it comes in contact with the concrete.
You could also use concrete piers that are poured below grade and attach beams that your shed will rest on. This is a great way to keep your structure off the ground while giving the solid support of a concrete foundation.
Whatever you decide to do you must make sure the shed will rest completely level so the doors and windows will fit and operate properly. You must also make sure that water is diverted away from the foundation so it will not settle and cause the building to lean to one side or the other.
A good set of plans will usually have a detailed description of the different shed foundation options and which one is best for your structure and location. Remember to check with you area’s building and permits authority to make sure you follow all guidelines and building codes.
