    Just found your product, but it's a pity that we can't get it here in the states, but it gave me an alternate idea how to install a shed.
    Wish you the best in your business!

    Another beauty of these bases is that in 20+years time when the shed is knackered and the new owner wants the shed removed altogether or placed in a different spot or different size, they don't have a gargantuan lump of concrete to remove!

      Excellent Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got amazing success with it.

      This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "concrete foundation for storage shed" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Damkietor Nonpareil Dominion - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.

    the problem with poured concrete is many cities and towns consider it a permanent structure so your property taxes go up. imho a wood shed should have a wood base. use pressure treated lumber and have everything metal that touches your base galvanized and it will last for decades. Also do not forget the essential vapor barrier.
    the gravel can be a pain as well (stone believe it or not can get expensive, I would use 6x8x4 inch concrete blocks at the corners and a few in the middle to give it that lift with a few shovel fulls of gravel under them for drainage. it will boost your shed a bit off the ground (which some may not like) but it will ensure rain doesn't touch that wood base.

      What were those things he lays down first, with the holes in them that he poured the gravel into? I might be getting a 7x7 Rubbermaid plastic shed, and I am considering what base to use.

    what about securing shed so it doesn't blow away. I live in a very windy wild area where previous sheds have had to be strapped into the concrete bases.

      You want to buy about 4 earth earth anchors and strap it down with cables and wire clips. Of course, you should probably have the shed on 4x4 skids and strap those down vs the stud corners...
