Can one just put it on a 1 ft sq patio pavers, instead of building a frame? I'm afraid even treated lumber would rot in time if on the ground.

Welcome. I am certain you will enjoy for many years to come! FYI stone laying took 1 man a couple of hours. Shed took 6-8 hours by two men and power tools required. Both had prior experience and one was a licensed contractor.

Sorry for answer delay - hope info is still needed. Contractor prepared soil (removed shrub roots etc.) Applied leveling sand to the flattened dirt area. Used a total of 23 - 16" x 16" red Brick Face Step Stone (no spaces). Must take proper steps to prevent floor from sagging over time. Shed fits perfectly. I love my storage shed.

Hi....I would think so as long as the pavers are very level and solid. I put mine on paving stone and it worked great. There is a vinyl floor in the kit so the interior will not be the stone you build it on. Hope this helps....SHS

We built a pad with pavers; then on top of that, we built a pad made of treated 2x4s and plywood. That way we were able to screw the shed to the plywood for stability. We also painted the 2x4s and plywood with deck paint, which will hopefully help it last.

I just installed one of these on a concrete pad. IMHO, if you made sure the pavers butt up against each other and can ensure they stay that way, it should work. The shed floor needs uniform support. Gaps under the floor would cause problems.I phoned the manufacturer for questions I had about my sloping pad. They were helpful.

It has a floor, and we have it sitting directly on concrete so pavers should be fine.

Im not sure, this one has an opening on the ends where you screw in to the pieces that go into cement to permanently install. So mine was permanently installed with concrete into the ground. Very stable. I did not save the directions. Is your deck wood? I would say there must be a way to do it but I would nit know how to figure it out. A beautiful arbor I might add, nice it's weather proofed too. Long lasting. :) good luck!!!

I used 4x8 inch treated garden timbers. Drilled two 1/2 inch holes in each of the four timbers, and once they were placed, drove a three foot section of rebar into each of these holes nd into the ground. Also used large inside angle brackets to keep everything square. The greenhouse has been thru some serious windstorms and no problems. The timbers and hardware were purchased at a local Home Depot.

You will need to weight it down if you use it as is. The large concrete patio pavers will hold it down. I didn't find that very appealing, because you would need it to be on a very flat surface which meant I had to put it on the patio and it took up a lot of room. My husband installed a pipe with a larger diameter than the umbrella pole, into the ground right outside the patio perimeter. He concreted it in and the umbrella is much more stable and doesn't take up any floor space. We can remove it easily when we do not want it outside in the weather. So we do not use the base that it came with. I really like it for the purpose I need it for, and I am replacing one I had before this. I am pleased with it. I hope this helps you.

I used a square base of 4x4 treated lumber. The instructions call for a concrete base but in my experience that's overkill.

I have used it sparingly on my deck, and saw no problems. If it is okay for Paws and Plants..... wood should be fine.

Only if you can get a perfectly level surface. You would need to level the ground first Then be sure the pavers are even and level and fit together perfectly and will not shift when the ground gets wet. I was very fortunate because there was an already poured concrete surface in the corner of my back yard. Wouldn't it pay you to have such a surface poured for your storage unit? Of course there might be a possibility of just leveling the ground exceedingly well and then storing very heavy things which hold the unit in place. But I am not sure how ground moisture would eventually effect the shed. Only if you can get a perfectly level surface.

It comes with stakes only for securing in dirt. It would be hard to secure it on a paver patio.

Get it separately, or just use a small piece of one-inch plywood underneath. Works just as well.

Short answer is no. I had a concrete slab to build it on, but it could just as easily be built on dirt. The floor kit it to protect your stored items from moisture, pallets or plastic containers will serve the same function. The frame kits are for extreme wind situations, though I have had no problems without it.

probably much better than to build a long one. We had to stabilize it. using additional lumber

Yes, that is the best way to set it up. I put mine on a slab. There are anchor plates provided to secure it to a deck.AL

If you found casters that you could attach on the outside of the legs versus drilling through the center of the leg, maybe...I would be very concerned about drilling in to particle board and expecting it to hold up. The legs are about 1 1/4" X 1 1/4" square.

I suppose you could but not sure I'd recommend it. We dug holes a few feet down and poured cement. As far as the shade goes, it's wonderful. Even on the hottest of days it stays much cooler under the shade, and it's been holding up good to wind and weather.

I put mine on a deck foundation using 2 by 6's for support and then deck boards on that. I did put 4X4's in concrete on all 4 corners and bolted the 2X6's to the 4X4's. Make your wood deck sturdy and keep working to keep it level and you should have no problems supporting the weight.

I found that the pavers were very spongy feeling when you walked on them, just because they are made of hard plastic, if you have them just on grass with nothing underneath I don't think I would put a large heavy planter on them as they would probably sink or maybe even crack plus the sun fades them a lot so you will have an impression of the planter on the paver if you were to move the paver. Hope this helped you.

Yes, I suppose you could certainly rig something up by attaching a piece of tarp or sidewall to the frame. It would be simple to do.
