foundation lumber purchased and 1/2 yard gravel picked up
I finally decided to add a 6'x12' lean-too shed on the backside of my garage wood shop for the primary purpose to store lumber and other goodies (yard tools, 16' kayak, etc). I have been doing much this summer to increase real estate availability in my 2 car garage and this will help.
Saturday, I downloaded shed plans from iCreatables. Initially, I was going to pick a 4'x12' but decided that extra 2' gives a nice buffer for future needs. I went to HD and picked up 6 cement pylons, pressure treated 2×6's, 3 tongue & groove 4×8 3/4" sheets, some sealing liquid for when I cut boards, nails, etc. Sunday, did a general layout as you see in the picture below.
Today (Monday) picked up 1/2 yard of 3/4" driveway gravel in my Dodge 1500. Some said no problem to put a full yard, some say maybe. I went the safe route and just did 1/2 for now. Can do rest through the week.
Will be starting to dig down 3"-4" for gravel bed. I was unsure if to do just gravel for pylons only…or total gravel bed of 6'x12'....I went for the latter as I want to do this right the first time.
I have exactly 12' of space between corner of backside house and to mandoor.
Shed side wall will be 2 feet from garage wall. Gives me room to store bikes or other items in the breezeway.
Local code says need permit for 200 sq ft shed. This comes in no where close so that is good.
