Blocking the air flow under your shed is a sure way to trap moisture and rot flooring and walls. Instead of solid barrier, Use 1/2 x1/2 chicken wire and bend in an L
I suppose they could but apparently they are not that smart. In all the teardowns we have done, I find They tend to dig right next to the building. Tractor supply sells 2’ long rolls of wire. Sheds are usually 7-10” from ground, so if wire is out 12-14” that will work.
We did that for our shed, but after a few years some creature ripped some of the flashing out in certain places. What kind of creature can rip that apart?
I just took down my shed, it was so bad! I had 1 dead rabbit under the shed that was there for awhile thats for sure! But I had a colony of gigantic spiders under the plywood floor it was horrifying!!! Now I have shed phobia, and never ever want another shed as long as I live. Has anyone had a spider problem? I really am freaked out about it. The shed was put together very well, it was around 15 years old. It was also a metal shed, and in the summer it was like an oven in there! Moral of the story, I'm glad it's gone!
@@addismultitasking3504 I already live in suburbia, off of a golf course. Ever since deforestation began, and more houses were built, we've all started noticing groundhogs. These things have pushed or knocked my live traps over to get under the shed. I now use connibear traps and snares. I wish I didn't have to, but its either my shed foundation or them.
Unfortunately this will not work. Just finish going through this. They will dig around this and drive you crazy. You need tough chocked wire or a cement base with broken glass in it. The animal progression is real.
Yes of course, but sheds have all kinds of poison and chemicals and valuables we won't want them to chew on. You could always set nesting boxes outside if you wanted to give your backyard wildlife some sheltering options ☺️
Dude. Just leave them alone. They ain’t bugging you. They are trying to find shelter. Istg y’all have respect until it’s a “unwanted pest” they ain’t even bad.
If they didn't sh*t piles all over my yard, harbor bugs and diseases, get in garbage can, spray, dig up the yard and eat my garden......maybe. But that's not the case.

Good thought thanks
@Eric Houwen if your bending it at an L it’s going under the shed.Won’t the animals still be able to get under the bottom ?

There’s always a Debbie downer in the comments. Drill some vent holes then.

Thank you! Just had a nice big shed built and I’ll be doing this soon!!!
This is good to know, we are getting anew shed. I want to do this. TFS!
Place human hair underneath a shed. Groundhogs hate human hair.
I want to try this with my shed, but I can't find that stapler you used. What brand and model is that?
When it rains, won't water pool under the shed potentially rotting the wood because it has nowhere to go?
If the base is pressure treated wood, won't the contact with aluminum cause a problem?
What's name of the roofing ice barrier cause only thing that keeps popping up is that peel an stick stuff
Do I still need the ice barrier if I am digging a trench?
Is your base treated lumber? If so, have you had problems with the aluminum corroding?
Great information my man 💪🏾

ground hog
Chupacabra
Good idea. I am going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
have a good weekend
what kind of base are you using? thanks for the video
I have 4 in of crushed gravel and then I put roofing paper on top of that to stop the weeds

wow
Love your video bro thank you so much for making it very informative appreciate you thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks
No problem
Thank you ☺️
You’re welcome 😊
Good job 👍
thanks for watching.. Have a good day
I have something similar, and the groundhogs just dig right under it
set up a live trap and move them out to the country

Yeah they are tough to stop
Put chicken wire under your gravel. They will only dig a few inches before they hit the chicken wire and stop.
I love YT there’s always a video for my issue
Bad idea, You cut off the air flow under the shed. I made that mistake once and the floor rotted
All you literally do it drill some tiny holes to preve2nt this, and mice still will very likely not bother to get through
Stink up your shed 😂 😂 😂
Just call Will Ferrell to shout at them.
RUFFing!.....I think he means ROOFing!

GOD made animals too. They need shelter too.

So you like cute mice and rats 🐀 spreading disease?
Then put them in YOUR house dude🙄
