you realize 4" slab = box out with 2x4, fill with concrete, run 2x4 over top, done.Originally Posted by uglyota
a 2" slab is going to crack from dropping a hammer on it or from soil movement.

This sounds like a better idea... Make it so it sits on skids and then you can pull it around the yard!

If you're just using it for storage why not? My storage building that came with the house is a Morgan on blocks. I winched it across my yard to a place that I liked better then highlifted it level. Also if you decide you want a real garage that you can work on cars in later you can sell the building. No concrete work, no permits involved. It may be a little more expensive now but you could recoup that cost later by selling it. Might even find one used. A metal building won't be quite as attractive as I'm sure you are envisioning building with that air nailer, but it sure would be easier.
My dad however built a storage shed out of scrap he had laying around. Build a pretty hefty floor frame on blocks, plywood the top of the floor, basic framing/door, cover the outside with building material of choice...voila! If you didn't have a lot of building material laying around though, I would go prefab and spend the time you were going to spend on that building that kickass back porch or fence you're dreaming about.

I was going to find more buildings. That didn't happen, but I found a smoking deal on a project to put in the building!!

What's the consensus on the little metal buildings? I am thinking of getting a 10x8 from Lowes for $250. Free floor frame included. I just want to put stuff in it, not so much work in it. I know I will need some kind of floor, and I guess something to get it off the ground?

karl had one, it fit stuff, i dont think the door ever worked right, but that might not have been a design flaw.
not if you don't have any! If you think I am going to be competing for lawn of the month, think again
Kopecki used to have a nice little storage shed set up to do some work in. Steel framed, 4' wide door, fully insulated, with a workbench and electricity. Not sure where you could get such a thing. Must have taken 2-3 days to build.
you volunteering?

I do not do anything illegal, immoral, volunteer, or buy candy from little kids.
At least one of those is mostly true.
really who can argue with logic like this????
In this case, you get what you pay for. If your trying to get storage for cheap and your not wanting to store big items look at the rubbermade (or similar) plastic storage sheds. They are kinda small but very easy to move around, my Grandpa recomends them
