Help me with garden shed foundation on a slope!!!
Hi, first time doing something like this I could really use some help. The pictures are just for reference, the base frame is not yet built.
What: We are trying to build a shed base for our garden shed 8x6. Prefer non cement, so going with gravel base.
Problem: The spot we are building is on a uneven surface, you can see from the images the difference in level between the front and back is around 15 inches
Plan: My take to do this was dig up a bit where the sides sit, put couple of inches gravel, stack up 4x4's with rebar through them so that they wont move, half joint the sides. Once the base frame is built fill it up with gravel and tamper them.
Question/Concern: I am trying to build this in the most affordable way. When I stacked up the wood to see how it might look realized this will take a ton of gravel to level up(read 15 inches between front and back). I do have some cinder blocks lying around which could sit towards the farther end to eat up some space, once done I would still good bit of gravel.
Do you see any issues with my plan. Is there a better way of leveling this shed foundation? Bit concerned about the $$$ and amount of labor it will take to move the gravel from drive way in the front to backyard. Want to make sure we are doing it the right way.
Thanks
