I put up a few of these at my rental houses, usually 10X12 sheds. I just level the gorund and use concrete blocks. You can also just use patio blocks but digging a full foundation??? Strange! :)

@nhralph That's what happens when you try to play by the rules... You get paperwork, you spend more money and you do more work.

Its a fucking shed!!!!! not a bomb shelter....why would you spent 4 grand on a slab for a $300 shed....your building codes suck!!!!

[raoulpop]

@pharmer420 Yeah, I know. Damned bureaucracy.

what ridiculous overkill for a footing for your garden shed. Your foundation is your soil, your concrete slab is a type of footing. stumps are also footings. It's technically wrong to call your slab a foundation. This is a technical mistake that has come from America.

That shed is ridiculous. Look how elevated it is from the ground. The floor of the shed should almost be level with the ground outside. Crazy stuff

@Radicdj Tell that to the City of Hollywood, FL... They're the ones that required that ridiculously thick foundation.

lmfao the shed has a better foundation to sit on then my house does.

i cant believe you build a flimpsy storage shed. i hope it will stay up when it gets windy.

all of the instructions with arrow buildings are horrible and they need to press the numbers into everything not just ink it on.when i helped my buddy build his 10x8,the box had gotten wet and more then half of the sheets numbers had washed off so we had to wing it and the last sheet for the rear did not fit right,it was an inch to wide even though all of the sheets back there still had its numbers and thats where the instructions say to put them. F U arrow!!!!!!

So much inspection! 1,2,3,4,5,6,78,9, ect!!

So, you live in DEED RESTRICTED area! No wonder you get the second inspection.DAMN H.O.A CRAP!!!

Sooner or later Inspector Gadget will inspect that too!

@Radicdj I understand what you are saying. I am on the opposite side of Florida from this guy and we have the same type of ridiculous codes. All due to hurricanes.
