Mark,
As to the concrete slab, I don't know what the
regulations are where you live. Here in Virginia
Beach, there are a couple of regulations that apply.
1. If you put down a slab, it's considered a
permanent structure. Consiquently,
you will need a building permit.
2. If you get a permit, you will have to worry about:
a. how far it is from your property lines
b. what percentage of you "green" area is covered. This can be a sh=
ow
stopper, especially if you have a pool, and or a deck.
3. As someone pointed out, does it get standing water & very soggy where yo=
u
plan on putting the shed?
When I erected my vinyl shed, I put it in the back corner of my yard.
Unfortunately, we'd get standing water there. So
I used some garden timbers and
made an enclosure slightly larger than the base
of my shed. Then I filled it with
crush-n-run (gravel) and topped it off with dirt
and a vapor barrier. Then I used
solid cynder block for the floor.
