What preparation needs to be done to the ground where the shed will be, other than make sure it is level?

I put down crushed stone and a bunch of cinder blocks. This shed doesn't come with a floor so make sure you either buy the floor kit or have a slab to lay it on top of. The floor kit is very flimsy and will require significant support underneath it to be stable. Frankly, I wouldn't recommend this product.

Leveling is important. However, I worry about termites eating through the plywood flooring in time so put a thick plastic cover over the floor. Wish I had put that on the ground before building the structure. But doing over, I would pay to get a level cement slab put in to assure more moisture and termite protection under the building the next time.

I'm not sure what are your concerns regarding the flooring. The shed is sitting on cement.I had someone to put it together. Putting it together did'nt appear to be a problem. All I can say is that I am very happy with my shed.

I just put up the shed. Then installed the floor kit inside the shed . Then cut Hal inch plywood for the floor. Make sure the ground is level before installing ground kit.ground kit goes inside the shed.

can't answer this as I ended up returning the floor. My maintenance guy insisted on building a solid floor for the shed- which was definitely the right thing to do as it went up in no time and is completely solid.

Use a pitch fork or a narrow shovel. It's a bit if a workout but it gets the job done.

I think it would be hard to do. I try to plan the job after a rain when the ground is a little softer. Maybe you could also build something to mount on top somehow

Since the bottom 'track' is galvanized, you can put the shed on whatever medium you want, but it works betterif you build a floor under it. I use shipping pallets with OSB or plywood sheathing on top of them for the bestresults and ease of maintenance.

The floor kit was a great addition. It's must have. We put the frame down inside the shed and then skrewd a wood floor down on top of it. One other additional thing we did was put a plastic tarp down over the frame before we screwd the floor down to keep any moisture from getting to the wood and rotting it out.

Floor kit is extra. If you choose to build your own wooden floor, I highly recommend laying out the parts first and loosely assembling the bottom frame in order to get an exact measurement of your floor requirements. In other words, my shed did not measure exactly 120 inches by 96 inches. And as others have mentioned, anchoring of the shed is necessary.

Off white /grayish with brown doors , my advice with this is to make sure the ground is level!!! If using crushed stone under as I did let it settle a bit , I didn't and my doors won't shut right . I will fix it in the spring but a great shed very spacious .

To fill to capacity it's imperative to have on level ground, but to answer specifically, fairly level; partial full should be fine, hope this helped:)

Nope that's pretty much it. But you should sweep over the area first to get up any dirt etc. Stuff works great. Once it's down that's it, so make sure you lay it right the first time.

I would say yes you need a foundation or something relatively flat. I could not get mine to align and could not get the roof panels to close all the way. I ended up returning the whole shed.

I would highly recommend a sturdy platform of wood, concrete, or patio blocks but a well tamped and leveled gravel foundation would work. The floor is flexible and snaps together and acts as a base for the walls so it must be stable and level. Hope this helps.

It needs to be attached to the ground. So you can if you nail the corners down

If you have the original instructions, it should be on the cover. OR look on the back page-if all else fails, go online, find your shed, & the number will be posted under it's picture.

The peak height is 88 inches. Yes, novices can assemble this shed. Your skill level will just dictate how much time you spend putting it together. Nothing is particularly complicated, but it's best that two people do it, especially when installing the roof panels. If you're Bob Villa it will take you two hours. If you've never used a screwdriver, it will take all day.
