I am considering an 8'X12' wooden storage shed kit.

QUESTION:

I am considering an 8'X12' wooden storage shed kit. What I need to know is should I have a concrete foundation poured or is there a less expensive way that would provide adequate support for the building? The building itself weighs 1092 lbs. One thing I thought of would be to level a spot, spread some sand and place 24" square concrete blocks on it. I think they are about 2" thick. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

ANSWER:

It depends on your local building code. I live out in the county with no codes for storage sheds, I've put up 2 sheds in the last 10 years & put them on treated wood foundations & they both look as good as the day I put them up.
