- How to build a gravel shed pad - Here I build a large shed pad (26' x 20'). For the foundation I use 6x6 timbers and 3/4 stone. This could be a DIY project but I suggest having help if you can.

Cool shed
Yes I am going to troll every video lol at least I'm watching.
Use nail stakes on the inside of the posts. The spikes are not going to hold at all. They may be 2" in the ground at most.
So no mention of how you came to properly level the 3/4 stone? Doesn’t that have to be level before you can make the floor level?
Helpful video. I'm planning on doing this as well for a 12x16 shed down here by Mullica Hill. I'll be doing it by hand - it's about 3.5 cubic yards of gravel that I'll need for a 4" thick gravel bed (that's a little larger than shed footprint). Fun times ahead. I need to lose some weight anyway. - John
Thank you and good luck with your project
Yes sir, good work guys
Why did you go with 6x6 in stead of 4x6...just wondering
interesting! different strokes for different fokes...
Nice work brother.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Look into gravelhold to spray on.
hey loving your vids im also from PA as well in 2023 going to start my excavation company buying a Kubota u35 and a dump trailer all new and going all at it. i live plenty far enough away from you so dont worry i wont be competition we live hourrsss away! lol any advice for a new guy?!?
Great job!
I think I might have just pushed that cart hard and fast at the trailer then just hopped outta the way, make sure to film it. It's either genius or something you can laugh it either way.
Do you have a video of the shed build ? I am planning in doing a similar size also 2 stories but having doubts about just using gravel , thinking of doing CMU blocks
I don't have a video of a shed. But I did make a video on a 24 x 24 garage build. Here's the link czcams.com/video/kVgzSD0u6ZI/video.htmlfeature=shared Thanks for watching
I have a question. So I don’t need to compact the stone? I am going to build a pad for a 12 or 14 x 24 shed. I was thinking of going with 3 inches of three-quarter stone and using landscaping ties for my perimeter, my ground is very level, but there is grass and weeds on it. Any advice you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.
I would remove all the grass and put down Geo stabilization fabric. The 3/4" clean stone is 95% compacted as is so it will be fine not compacting it.
Any chance you’d share what you charged for this pad?
To bad that you didn't have a grading bucket to do that
It's on "the list" I think I will eventually get a grading tilt bucket for this machine. Thanks for watching
@@srmcontracting I just thought it would be easier to get the dirt,and gravel out of your trailer
Any reason you didn't you compact it?
The shed builders said they were going to take care of it. Plus 3/4 clean stone is 95% compacted on its own so I wouldn't expect it to settle anyway
How long are the spike you used ?
Not long enough.
Did you hear anything about termite infestation?
Yes, it's all the rage.
my yard is not level. how do you make it flat and level?
Digging or you can raise.
Say pouring a slab, on all sides I would want an even base so I would dig in say 4 inches and line that with gravel. Level the gravel out, build a form, put rebar down. Make sure everything is level and correct and pour. You can order dirt to level the part of the yard you are using as well.
Best advice would be contact a landscaping company with questions.
