Installing a shed can provide you with a multitude of benefits. Not only are sheds a great place to store outdoor items, but they can also add additional property value to your home. However, installing a shed requires a little bit of planning, and that can often include building a foundation.
Here is what you need to know about whether or not the shed that you intend to build on your property needs a foundation.
Consider the following questions before constructing a shed on your property:
Whether or not you will need a foundation will depend on if the location where your shed is to be placed is flat or sloped. If the slope of your property is significantly steep, then your shed will need a foundation to keep it level and sturdy. However, if the slope of your backyard is minimal, then you may not need to lay a foundation. A good way to determine this, of course, is to examine your property and consult your local requirements, regulations, and restrictions for building structures in your area.
Another big factor in the need for a foundation is the size of your desired shed. Sheds that are larger or weigh more tend to require a strong foundation, while smaller and lighter sheds may not. Again, this is a good time to check the permitting requirements in your area to see at what shed sizes and weights need a foundation.
At the end of the day, whether or not the shed you intend to build needs a foundation depends on your specific shed type and the condition of your property. If you need help choosing the right shed type for your property, contact the shed experts at Superior Sheds.
