1.Shed base
Depending on what you plan on using your yard shed for and what sort of tools or stuff you intend putting in it, you will need to consider a solid base or foundation. This will entail a bit more work on your behalf but will pay you ten fold in the long run with the practicality and utility of your shed for years to come.
2. Damproofing and drainage.
Nothing could be worse than to invest time and money building a storage shed to see the timber rotting in the early years because you did not consider the dampness of the location and did not think about adequate drainage.
3. Ventilation.
Adequate ventilation is crucial, particularly under the floor of your shed if you have not put in a concrete base. But you also need to think about internal ventilation which ties in with the proper treatment of the timber in your shed with an appropriate preservative or stain.
4.Structural integrity.
You will probably want to use your yard shed for storage of various tools and household stuff. And to do this most efficiently you will want to shelve out your shed.
Have you thought about the load bearing capability of the walls of your yard shed?
