Frequently Asked Questions
Western Red Cedar is a naturally stunning building material with deep, tonal properties that accentuate the richly textured wood grains and exposed heartwood.
For centuries, the Western Red Cedar has been celebrated by the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations as the “Tree of Life” using it to build longhouses, canoes, and totem poles.
Red cedar’s reputation for being a naturally durable wood makes it perfect for all outdoor projects. The wood is lightweight and valued for its high natural resistance and decay properties.
It is less susceptible to moisture, insect damage, and fungi growth. Cedar is also water damage resistant and can successfully weather long periods of heavy rain and other weather extremes such as snow, hail, and strong winds.
With its unsurpassed natural beauty, centuries of proven performance, low environmental impact, and natural resistance to decay/insects it’s clear to see the advantage of quality Western Red Cedar.

Yes!
We ship to serviceable areas in the continental US & Canada, not Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands. In any other areas including Hawaii and Alaska, we can ship to a freight forwarder located on the mainland of the US.
Our freight partners generally describe a serviceable area as anywhere accessible by a large freight truck or where roads are regularly maintained and items can be delivered safely. This broad definition applies to most urban and non-urban places.
Areas not considered serviceable are exceptionally rural areas that are not safely accessible by a large truck. If you have concerns that this may be applicable to you, then you can also have your items shipped to the freight terminal and pick them up yourself.
Please feel free to give us a call at 1 888-658-1658, and we will be glad to assist you with any other questions you may have about this.
🏗️ How To Build A Foundation
A solid foundation is the key to a long-lasting shed. At Outdoor Living Today, we want to help you create a sturdy, level base for your shed—without confusion or guesswork. Whether you’re a DIY pro or first-timer, this guide walks you through clear, step-by-step instructions and multiple foundation options.
Three Recommended Foundation Types:
- Patio Stones (Fast & Easy)
- Pressure-Treated 4×4 Beams (Durable & Elevated)
- Concrete Slab (Permanent & Weather-Resistant)
STEP 1: Clear & Prepare the Site
Before your shed kit arrives:
- Remove grass, debris, roots, and rocks.
- Make sure the area is flat and drains well.
- The ground should slope away from the site (approx. 1/8″ per foot over 10 feet) to prevent water buildup.
- For best results, excavate 4 inches and fill with gravel or crushed rock.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a landscape fabric under gravel to prevent weed growth and soil shifting over time.
STEP 2: Mark Out the Shed Foundation
- Pick one corner (Point A) and drive a stake into the ground.
- Use the 3-4-5 triangle method (based on the Pythagorean theorem) to ensure your layout is square—this method works for any shed size:
- Measure 3 feet (or any multiple) on one side, and 4 feet (or same multiple) on the adjacent side. The diagonal between them should be exactly 5 feet (or the matching multiple).
- For larger sheds, you can use 6-8-10 or 9-12-15—just maintain the ratio.
Once your corners are square, outline the full perimeter using string and batter boards.
📏 Need help squaring? There are apps and online calculators that can assist with right angles using your shed dimensions.
STEP 3: Choose Your Foundation Type
Patio Stone Foundation
- Best for small to medium sheds on stable ground.
- Level the soil or gravel, then place stones under key floor joist points (see your floor plan).
- Adjust using sand or soil for leveling.
- Space stones evenly to support the shed’s perimeter and any internal floor joists for balanced weight distribution.
- Use a long 2×4 and a carpenter’s level to ensure all stones sit flat and level across the entire footprint.
✅ Quick to install, affordable, and easy to move or adjust.
4×4 Pressure-Treated Beam Foundation
- Ideal for slightly uneven terrain or areas where airflow is needed beneath the shed.
- Lay beams perpendicular to joists on a gravel base.
- Use rebar (½”) driven through pre-drilled holes to secure beams in place.
- Leave space between beams to promote drainage and prevent moisture buildup under the shed.
- Ensure all beams are level and aligned before attaching floor joists for a stable, even base.
🪵 Leaves room underneath for ventilation and helps prevent rot.
Concrete Slab Foundation
- Best for large, heavy-duty sheds or long-term placement.
- Excavate 6 inches: 4″ of gravel, 4″ of concrete slab.
- Include a plastic vapor barrier between gravel and slab.
- Frame your pour with 2x4s, level and finish with a trowel or bull float.
🔒 Most permanent option. Offers unbeatable durability and pest resistance.
⚠️ Final Tips Before You Start:
- Always check local building codes and permit requirements.
- Call your local utility provider before you dig to avoid underground lines.
- Don’t skip drainage—it’s your best defense against rot and frost heave.
