Site Preparation Overview
Types of site preparation
Proper site preparation is critical for the structure performance and life span of your shed. The most common site preparation is a "General Storage" site preparation,
which uses concrete blocks. The other type of site preparation is a "Heavy Duty" site preparation, which also uses concrete blocks. The "Heavy Duty" site preparation is
required for sheds that have door openings large enough to drive anything through that weighs over 1,000 Ibs. For cost information
