I put my shed inside my building so it would be hard for me to say. I would recommend a foundation of some kind for sure, especially in windy areas.

HI NO I also purchased the base and that is set on top of 2x4 so no need for a concrete foundationBUT this is a hard thing to get together right i would not buy it again as the door will not work correctly no matter best to buy a different one which i also did if it was not tput together i would send it back

Only if you can fix the shed on a pole or a wall, otherwise it may be blown away. For safety reasons, you better have a foundation.

No footing is needed. There is a metal bracket that attaches to a wood block (wood block not included) that simply rests on the ground for support.

There are supports each side of the ladder which help keep it stable. I think it should be OK. I never put it on concrete though.

It sounds similar to my case...I have been told that you have to use the drill into the concrete and use the anchors included. I decided to have someone do it for me

It is not 'needed' per se but it never hurts to have that extra layer of protection. If for nothing else than to lessen the chances of a rock poking through. We did it with ours and having the extra layer of protection is nice (especially on the feet).

i have a concrete patio, but it would most likely be fine if you purchase large square cement pieces and make a slab large enough to hold your fire. this what i would have done, if i did not have the cement patio installed. hope this helps! :)

Built mine last fall using the foundation specs in the manual. At that time there was no foundation kit available. If you take the specs in the manual to a local lumber yard they should be able to cut the wood to suit. I'm sure they might even assemble the foundation for a price.The instructions should give you a rock solid foundation that will last at least 20 years if it all drains off properly- it's even a little overbuilt IMO

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.

The frame uses the walls of the shed as a border, the frame is light and there is a big gap between the frame and door area, I don't think the walls or frame would hold concrete in. I think pouring a slab first would alleviate the need for the frame completely.

You do require a foundation of some type. I built a frame with 2 by 4's and put 2 by 4 legs under it and plywood on top to support the mattress. We store stuff under the bed in Rubbermaid containers. A frame and two twin sized foundations would work, but I prefer the platform because of the storage space.

Mark out the exact shed dimensions from the plans and then build the foundation first. Some people pour a concrete foundation. In that case you will need to either put bolts into the concrete before it cures or drill in concrete bolts after the concrete is dry. I didn't want something that permanent (or expensive), so I ordered the Arrow Shed FB109-A Floor Frame Kit. The floor kit is simply metal strips that allow you to attach a wooden floor. I laid out the floor frame kit on cinder blocks and then bolted in treated 1/2" plywood panels for the floor. You could go to 3/4" for a sturdier floor, but it will be heavy. Once I had the floor down then I assembled the shed onto the floor frame. You can do a lot of it yourself, but at some points you will need an assistant. Also make sure you use plastic washers (provided in the kit) with every roof screw you put in. Don't over tighten the screws or the washers will squeeze out and the roof will leak. You will probably have to caulk a few screws anyway after the first rain. Also, be very precise/accurate during construction because slight errors can turn into big errors as the assembly proceeds.

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.

On top of any flat, level surface is perfect. Definitely no need to put anything down on the concrete. Mine is built directly on the ground, and the surface is level but not completely perfectly flat, and it fit together perfectly and the doors operate perfectly. It's not as fussy as some seem to indicate. Any concrete surface that's even close to flat will be just fine.

I would say it definitely needs to be placed on concrete (not turf or dirt), and I think once put together it would be difficult to take apart. I love the flooring- I use it in a section in my garage to make a nice transition into finished space, but I don't think it would come apart easily once put together.

no it needs a flat support like a foundation or even plywood base. i just bought a foundation for a mattress store. it worked perfect

I thikn that might work out OK for you. It comes in 4 pieces that seem to have some flexibility to them if you put the tallest piece under say a 1" foundation. It might be a little bit of a bump, but you could also raise the 2nd piece slightly to make it flatter.

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.
