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

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with ShedsUnlimited. Everyone from our salesman, Andrew, to the construction manager, Gideon, down to the three carpenters who constructed our shed on site, Leroy, Chris and Junior Blake,… did an excellent job of creating the shed just the way we wanted it. I am appreciative of their patience while I was making choices, and their respect for my time and property. My shed was scheduled to be built in the time frame that was promised. The crew arrived from out of state on time and worked efficiently in a synchronized manner to build the shed on our pad. The men were very respectful for the surrounding property as well. What a pleasure to receive what was promised without any glitches. Read more “Quality build with quality materials”

I had a great experience with Sheds Unlimited. Nate did a really expert job of fitting the shed through a very tight space. He maneuvered the shed through my driveway, around my garden, and into… position on a bed of gravel. Read more “love my new shed”

from when i first ordered the shed online to final delivery everything was done first rate. when Nate, the driver, first pulled up in front until the shed was in its final position he was… a true professional. He introduced himself and was loaded with tips and advise for me. it was a true pleasure to deal with him and the entire company. Read more “great experience”

Just had our second building delivered and love it! Our driver, Nate, did a spectacular job with the delivery that was in a tricky location. He was super friendly and switched to Plan B with… a smile on his face and without blinking an eye! Our first building, a workshop, was built on site and the crew was incredibly efficient, working from 7 am to 7 pm, ending up with a top quality building. They are the best! Great prices, excellent quality. Perfect overall experience both times! Read more “Second as good as the first!”
