I'm just going to take it simple and lay some gravel down, then put the shed right on top of that. Then I'll anchor it down to keep it from flying away in our massive desert winds.
We have super...

So this is exactly what I spent ALL day doing today. Thanks for the specifics. It turned out ok, other than the fact that I bought 4'x8' plywood and didn't account for the extra 4" on each end that...

I'm impressed that it stayed in one piece after that fall. Usually the crap I get from China falls apart if I fart in the vicinity.

I think it's good that you're paying attention to how you prep the ground properly.
You wouldn't want anything to go wrong, like it did with this Chinese construction masterpiece..

If you only have 1 layer, you can overlap at the boards at the corners and simply drive a lag screw through the corner (use a pilot hole). Or you can cut a piece of 4x4 to fit inside the corner, and...

It sounds like I am over-thinking this. Just get something (gravel, wood, etc.) and make it level and I am good to go. I will look into the tool rental as that might make things a lot easier. Thanks....

I'd go with the 3/4" stone, or even something a little larger. If you have just a slight slope, I'd go with about one 4x4 (so about 3.5") above grade level at the highest point of grade, and build...

Sorry, missed your reply earlier. Yes I read them. The directions suggest a hard surface, which I don't really have unless I prepare it specifically for the shed.
Hey thanks for the advice....

I would build a level frame about a foot larger than the footprint of your shed, using 4x4 pressure treated lumber or railroad ties. Dig a trench for the lumber so the top of the frame is level. ...

So I literally just pile up an 8'x8' square of gravel, 4-6" high and set the shed on that? Will that be stable enough? It does have a plastic floor.

Typically for a shed you would put 4-6" of gravel for it to sit on for proper drainage. Does it have its own floor? To level the ground, use a long 2x4 and put your level on the 2x4. You will be able...
