Base
2×4 joists, 16″ on centre. Built on patio stones and pressure-treated 4×4’s to lift the shed off the ground.
You only need to read our reviews to know that our garden sheds, and all of our structures, are high-quality and built to withstand Ottawa winters. Everything we build is constructed to comply with the Ontario building code and we hand-pick our building materials to make sure that our clients receive only the best.
Most often, people ask if our shed base is strong, so we decided to put it to the test! We built a base and floor, identical to what we build for each of our sheds, and we parked one of our Chev pick up trucks on it over a long weekend. Here’s a picture of it after 3 days of 5,000 pounds of steel – perfect and standing strong!
