Good looking sheds, I would like to see a review video of the quality in a few years, I just bought mine.

I was wondering the same thing. That's one of the reasons I put my shed under this big tree. I thought having it in the shade would not only keep it cooler but it would protect it from the sun.

[@ZeroColdx911]

I built the 8x7 version of that, and I had the exact problems with the roof. For me, the roof wouldn’t line up because the plastic was bent. Had to hit it really hard with a mallet to get the left roof to line up.
Even after lining it up perfect there were still small gaps in the ceiling, which I ended up fixing with black spray foam.

Thanks for the info! I got the roof panels to line up really good but one of my corners is off a little bit. I was thinking of trying some of the spray foam. I didn't know they had black spray foam though. I will have to check it out.

So nice of you

Did you only use one level of pavers? And what size pavers? I have this project sitting outside and I'm currently trying to figure out if pouring concrete, pavers, or a wood frame would be cheaper.

[@ThatHobby]

I am making a video about the shed base. This is what I ended up doing. I leveled the shed area and then I put down a layer of gravel and then a layer of sand before I put down the pavers. I put concrete around the edges of the pavers to lock them into place. It took a lot of gravel and sand though. I got the big contractor bags. I think they weigh 5 or 6 hundred pounds each. I had them put it in my truck with a forklift. It took a few trips too and I have a 3/4 ton truck. You can get it delivered though. A concrete slab would be best but that will cost more and take more time. The wood frame would be the next best but you will need to level the area and put gravel under the wood frame or use concrete block footings. My concern with the wood is that it wouldn't last as long. The pavers are a good compromise but the problem with pavers is that you need to anchor the shed to the base and it will be a little more challenging to screw the bolts into the pavers. I used 12 inch pavers. They are easier to work with but the bigger pavers would give you a bigger area to screw bolts into the pavers.

Think I might have to remove a lot of the metal from the front header . It’s heavy to lift by my self and I short

[@ThatHobby]

I had to get some help putting on the header. It was a little tricky to get it to slide into place. My wife used a step ladder to get on the other side and hold it in place while I pulled it down into the groves.
