Hi,

We want to build a 8x12 shed but want to potect against eventual rotting of treated wood foundations.

Does anyone have specs(like beam gauge) and or tips on makind a Galvanized Steel Foundation? We would set the foundation on a bed of crushed gravel.

I tried to research online, but came up with little info.

Thanks in advance!!

Why not just pour a slab and set the shed on that?? (Termites hate concrete as much as they do steel!!)

Thanks for the response. Concrete is a good suggestion, but we've decided not to go that route for various reasons.

I appreciate the input.
