Shed Help

[Great-Kazoo]

Not to distract too much from the OP, but what defines "shed" does it have to be on skids,or can it be slab mounted or pole barn style? I'm going to have to build one for a riding mower and don't want to go with a wood floor, or have to get permits, etc for it.

Check your local zoning. Up here anything 120 sq ft (10' x 12') or smaller , no permit needed. There's some gray areas when it comes to sheds / out buildings. On a slab, it's considered permanent structure, Even though it is on skids. Metal / pole barns are utility sheds. My 24 x 30 garage is listed as a utility shed, just because it's a metal / pole barn. I had the slab poured after it was up , it's not considered a foundation AND no one (dog catcher, zoning mountie) sees it.

For a lawn mower only i'd go with one of those rubber maid units. Put the unit on top of some pavers, you're GTG. We have one that holds lots of "treasures", its the Rough neck ?XL.

You could also utilize used pallets as a base.
