For the longevity and safety of your storage shed, you must provide a hard, level surface for your shed's foundation. 

We recommend a stone base with #2 crushed stone (unwashed). This stone pad should be 3 to 5 inches thick, leveled, and tamped. The stone pad should be at least 1 foot (12 inches) larger than the footprint your structure, leaving at least 6 inches on either side of your shed.

For the longevity and stability of your garage, you must provide a hard, level surface for your garage's foundation. The recommended foundation for your garage varies by the type of garage you buy.

Site leveling and foundation preparation is the responsibility of the purchaser. You can do it yourself, although we recommend the use of a professional to ensure a stable, long-lasting surface for your structure. Talk to your Sales Advisor for possible recommended foundation services in your area.

Shed Rows and Run In Sheds may be set on almost any level surface. Woodtex recommends a foundation of 3 to 5 inches of leveled and compacted Stone Dust (a very fine, crushed stone). Any horse barn (including Shed Row and Run In) with an overhang must be set on concrete piers or a concrete slab. Our Hinged Roof and Center Aisle Horse Barns must have a concrete pier foundation or a concrete slab installed.
