I've decided to build a shed in my backyard -- nothig huge, storage as much as anything else, though it will also give me a place to store wood out of the weather. I was going to put it on skids (planned size -8x10), but I leave near a lot of critters, and I've begun to worry that I'd be creating a great place for a skunk or racoon to set up shop. So, I've decided to pour a slab (3.5" slab)
The problem I have is that my yard slopes down about 6 inches along the 8ft dimension of my planned shed. so if a 4" slab was on-grade on the low end, the top of the slab, and thus the siding, etc., would be 2" below grade on the high end.
Is the proper solution to regrade the yard to avoid this? Or simply use piers and use screening or PT boards to "wall off" underneath the shed from critters?
For a variety of reasons, I'm not interested in buying a prefab shed with integral flooring. With that in mind, what would you do?
