Shed Stone Pad

[speedoo51]

I am getting a Carefree shed, 24x20...It is a free standing shed and needs to rest on a 1" crushed stone pad, framed by 6"x6" PT timbers, two layers to account for ground pitch...I can do it myself but trying not to..So looking to hire someone to do the work..Some digging to get the frame level, compacting fill and 5" of stone...I have a rotary level..I am in Rocky Hill, CT..Center of state..PM or call 860-529-2702...

I could not find any one [called like ten places] to do the work with pretty lame excuses so I dug out and made the perimeter 6x6 frame.. Now wondering should I drill holes in the 6x6's and pin with rebar to ground? What size rebar and how deep? Over all size of frame is 27' x 23' so how many should I do?..

I got the pad staked and filled and packed an Carefree came and put the shed up..Doors are now mounted but don't have pics in putor yet..

That's a pretty nice looking building for a modular 'shed'. My only concern with that is - why overhead doors? I certainly wouldn't want to park a car in there, maybe a small tractor or mower, so how to install ramps to get in? I wouldn't pile dirt or even pour concrete aprons unless there was at least a 1" gap from any wood framing.

It would make a decent backyard woodworking shop, that's for sure. Wood floors are easy on the legs and feet.

Yes you can park what ever will fit..Floor joists are on 12" centers and 3/4" floor..24' wide by 20' deep..Didn't put roll up doors, installed swing type, 9' x 7'..Ramps are 36" long at 15°..Crappy pic [no the top part is not pink] but you'll get the drift..
