PREPPING YOUR AREA:

Adding a shed to your property is an ideal way to expand your storage space.  A stable base for your shed will make it sit level, stand up to weather, water and sinking, and will be sturdy for decades! 

There is no site preparation necessary if site is accessible with truck and trailer and site is NO MORE THAN 3 FEET OUT OF LEVEL.

Here are some instructions for a DIY base to set your shed on.

Our most popular and best base recommendation is a gravel pad that is made out of crushed stone.  This provides a stable base for your shed to rest on, and is very effective at draining water away from the bottom of your shed, as well as being affordable.

You will need the pad to be one foot bigger then the shed all around. For example a 10’x12′ shed will need a pad that measures 12×14′.  The process starts by finding the right location then digging out the ground to approximately a 4″- 6″ depth. Place commercial quality landscape fabric on the exposed area and then add your crushed stone on the fabric and compact. Add material until the area is completely level. You may use this type of base for any size project for our portable sheds.

As a general rule in Alberta, smaller accessory buildings do not require a permit.  However,  depending on the area you choose to locate your building, larger buildings will require a permit.  This can be done at your local town, city or county office.
