How to Prepare Your Gravel Shed Pad
Follow These Instructions For Storage Shed Pad Preparation with a Gravel Pad
Preparing for your storage shed from Sheds Unlimited is an important procedure. We recommend placing your shed on a gravel storage shed pad as outlined below. Please follow the storage shed pad or car garage pad instructions as outlined. On larger two-, three-, or four-car garages and two-story buildings, we provide directions on preparing a concrete pad. As always, feel free to call us at 717-442-9055 or email us if you have any further questions.
NOTE: Sheds Unlimited is NOT responsible for structural problems if one fails to follow the instructions. Failure to follow instructions will void the Sheds Unlimited Warranty and may incur extra delivery charges!
1. Measure the Space for your Building
Please ensure that our “MULE” can bring the shed fully assembled into your backyard (if the area is tight, please request a “built-on-site” shed).
2. Build a Perimeter for Your Storage Shed
Build a 4″x4″, 4″x6″ or 6″x6″ pressure treated perimeter. The STONE AREA of your SHED PAD should be at least ONE FOOT WIDER and ONE FOOT LONGER than the actual size of the building. See Photos Below.
3. Fill in With Stone
Fill the area inside the frame with 4-6 inches of 3/4 INCH CRUSHED STONE – DO NOT USE RIVER BEAD STONE or a SMOOTH ROUNDED STONE!!
4. Check for Level
Please MAKE SURE that the pad is PERFECTLY LEVEL and SQUARE

From start to finish, Sheds Unlimited made the experience superb. We were able to easily customize the shed. Customer service kept us informed about the status and possible windows for delivery. On the scheduled delivery date, the driver arrived right on schedule and easily installed the shed in our backyard – all in under 30 minutes. And, the shed looks great, and is really well made. Thanks so much.
This whole process was a joy! Our shed is beautiful and the service was way more than perfect! Our delivery was fast, on time and the gentleman was calm and professional. Got the shed into our yard between the house and garage quickly and easily even tho it was quite a squeeze. Amazing!! My sister already said she wants one!!!
