Project - Build a base for a Keter Shed and then build the shed

My Mother in Law bought us a plastic Keter Factor 6 ft. x 3 ft. Outdoor Storage Shed. My sons and I built a wooden base for it out of pressure treated lumber and then assembled the shed together. The whole thing took about 4 hours to complete.

I also have 2 similar boxes for outside, on the terrace. The are great. Good luck with the channel.

I was wondering if it was weather proof and if any rain got inside?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

It's only rained a couple of times since we put it up but it hasn't leaked yet.

[@Androcentus]

Since the original area was angled, how did you build the base to be flat, juts inserted pieces underneath to make it flat? Thanks.

[@FunWithWoodworking]

It's only a slight angle and that is why I built this base, so that the shed would have something flat to sit on.

[@kitsurubami]

what function does the base serve? something to weigh it down so it doesn't blow away while empty?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

It gives it a flat and stable surface to sit on and lifts it off the ground. The place where we set it up is angled for drainage.

@FunWithWoodWorking, planning to pick up the same shed. What are the advantages with adding the wood base even on a flat cement? Is it so water doesn't touch the floor? Thanks!

[@FunWithWoodworking]

The place where I built it is not flat. It is slightly angled for drainage. I built the frame to compensate for the angles and to keep it up above any water.

[@jayman369]

@@FunWithWoodworking Thanks for the reply!

[@The_Macaroon]

@@FunWithWoodworking how does it compensate for the angle?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

There are 2 angles that come together and form a slight V shape. The base sits on top of the V and gives the shed a flat spot to sit.
