Does this need a supportive bottom? Like other larger sheds need the concrete or gravel bottom as support.

No not necessary. I would recommend it be set up on a base. wood Deck OR concrete patio blocks. 16" x 16" X 2" THICK. Suggest two person setup crew. We set it up in 20 minutes. Very good directions if you read them first and lay out units in order of installation.!! GOOD LUCK

I did not put my shed on a supportive base. It's sitting directly on level ground and has settled very little. This shed is about as big as a coat closet so it's easy to move if the ground does start to erode unevenly around it. I'd say at the most I would put gravel down underneath to cut down on erosion.

Yes, it needs to sit on flat ground. I supported mine by attaching 2X4's on each side and setting into concrete.... About 12" in the ground and about 12" above ground screwed onto the sides of the shed. I now have a very sturdy shed with no fear of blowing or falling over.

No, we have it standing on our patio and it is very solid. You should just make sure the ground is level.

Preferably a good flat concrete surface would be nice since if it were placed on an uneven surface, the doors would not open smoothly.

Concrete would be the firmest base, but depending on the type of ground it may not be necessary. I mounted the shed on a gravel bed and secured it with four 12 penny nails. The shed bottom has holes located at each corner for driving the anchor nails into the gravel bed/ground. It is very sturdy and secure.

I prepared a level area using 12 x 12 pavers. It is in a protected corner of my yard with a lot of leaf litter. I pushed the leaf litter aside and got down to dirt before I started laying the pavers. Nothing fancy, just put them on top of the leveled soil. It was easy to put together in place. Just me (67 yr old female) and my rubber mallet. The mallet was only used a couple of times when my weak hands couldn't get something to snap into place-a gentle tap with the mallet worked.

Fred, no..it is a really small storage shed. Also, do not buy any of the Amazon suggested items, none of them fit.

I built a wood platform and screwed it to the platform. I would not use this shed without building a platform or using a concrete slab.

No. If you put a board or some plywood underneath to hold a couple of cinder blocks you'll have a setup thats stable enough for some light planing but if you're going to do a lot of this you'll want to build a real workbench to support the work.

You need a floor for stability really. You could put it straight on the grass but it won't be grass long and you'll end up with a dirt floor. I really recommend the floor frame and some plywood...otherwise you'll be stepping up over a metal framing bar and then down into the shed. It helps keep it sturdy as well. :)

Doesn't have a bottom. You can put it on the ground and use a sheet of weed block.

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.

Leave enough room around the shed to build it. After competition carefully move it into position. This will require two people. I am assuming that the shed will be built on a flat concrete pad and their will be adequate clearance for the build.

No, the floor is an integral part of the shed. It holds the four sides together. Without the floor there would be nothing to hold the walls together.

I have only set the item up on the grass. I think you would need a tarp or some kind of protection for the bottom on a different surface.

The stock unit is open on the bottom. They sell a frame kit that you can put 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch plywood that you put in after the shed is constructed and that will keep everything off the ground. This is a great shed, but it's packaging is horrible. Mine came banged up and I had to straighten out several panels. Good Luck!

Hi Sebastian,The Grow Camp does not have a bottom. It was originally designed to be set on grass and dirt but more and more people are using them on their patio's and decks. Any hardware store will have tarps and liners that can be draped across the bottom and fit to the sides. Fill the enclosed area with dirt and it is ready to go.Thank you for your interest!!Linda KelloggUrban Lifestyles

It has holes on the bottom that can be secured to the floor or ground. It is heavy but does need to be secured to work properly.

In my opinion, that would be best. However, as long as the ground is level and compacted it will be fine. I didn't use gravel because that would have required more digging.

No. We put gravel in the bottom and landscaping bricks around the outside. Works great!!

It isn't necessary bu we do have an old tarp that we put under our bouncer. I would definitely recommend putting a tarp underneath if it will be on concrete.

I poured a concrete floor first so shouldn't be any problem. You can add anything you want to the shed but you have to supply your own connectors. Lowes or home depot have pieces to use to connect any extra lumber to the shed.

No. We built our own out of heavy plywood ans 2x6s. We are very happy with the shed and would recommend it.
