    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

      @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 ?

      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.

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

      Place human hair underneath a shed. Groundhogs hate human hair.

    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?

    Is your base treated lumber? If so, have you had problems with the aluminum corroding?

    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.

      Put chicken wire under your gravel. They will only dig a few inches before they hit the chicken wire and stop.

      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 ☺️
