    Getting into my head too far. How to support my storage shed?

    Look at all thread or Home Depot for a 36 inch long strap run a bolt thru it w/ a nut - tighten it up so it will bite into the concrete post hole this is a little light duty - maybe double it up stack one on top each other

    Getting into my head too far. How to support my storage shed?

    Tuff shed uses a 6 inch metal stud floor framing - you can get different metal gauge As for up lift Instead of sinking a post - I’d probably go with some sort of hold down in each corner strap, all thread etc https://www.tuffshed.com/gallery tuff shed floor / base Simpson strong tie for...

    Trenching to a depth of 48" for water lines

    Your original post was to rent a Dingo ( pictured ) or a back hoe Since your ground is so rocky and wet you should rent a backhoe like a John Deere 710 w/ a 12inch wide bucket, that will make quick work out of that trench ! although your 1.5 year old lawn will get chewed up ! A backhoe is a...
