16x20 Shed Build - Need Help

[Duranged2001]

I have every intention of building a new shed for my stuff. It will be just a shed and not a workshop. I want to build it on a simple gravel base. For now, I won't have electricity or a beer fridge -- just space to store mowers, bikes, boxes, etc.

I am having a tough time figuring out how to deal with the slope of the build site. The ground drops 18" from the back right to the front left. I've included pictures to show the site. I know that's not extreme, but I don't know whether to use fill dirt to level the pad and slope and seed the edges, or build up a timber "gravel box."

I would like to have two door openings/ramps to drive and carry things in. I want one opening on the middle front of the shed (long side,) and another opening on the right end (short side.)

Will you please take a look at my pictures and offer any advice you have for leveling. For simplicity, I just pounded four stakes, and used a line level to position the string. The stake with the string on the ground will be the back right of the shed.

Thanks,
Dave

You could build a box for the gravel, or just build a floor and level it off with paver blocks or cinder blocks. When I built mine, I had a bad slope, and thats what I did. basically a box leveled with pavers/blocks with a wood floor.
Here's some pics to show. Sorry, its all I have. Hard to tell, but from the front(at ground level) to the back, the height difference is about 2 feet.
