Frequently Asked Questions
Western Red Cedar — The Tree of Life
Western Red Cedar is a naturally stunning building material with deep, tonal beauty that highlights its richly textured wood grains and warm heartwood. More than just a material, it’s a wood with a story — one that’s been celebrated for generations.
Along the Pacific Northwest Coast, First Nations peoples have long honored the Western Red Cedar as the “Tree of Life.” From its bark and roots to its towering trunk, every part of the tree was used with respect and purpose — to build longhouses, carve canoes, and raise totem poles. This enduring reverence for cedar’s strength, resilience, and spirit continues to guide how we use it today.
Every structure we craft supports local forestry, skilled manufacturing, and good-paying Canadian & American jobs, helping sustain the communities that make our shared North American economy strong. Choosing real Western Red Cedar over imitation products from overseas means investing in quality you can trust, while supporting responsible forest stewardship and homegrown craftsmanship.
Naturally durable and resilient, Western Red Cedar is perfect for outdoor living. It’s lightweight, stable, and naturally resistant to decay, moisture, and insects — able to withstand years of exposure to rain, snow, and sun while maintaining its beauty and integrity. Its pleasant aroma, smooth grain, and rich color make it as inviting to the touch as it is to the eye.
With its unmatched natural beauty, centuries of proven performance, and minimal environmental impact, Western Red Cedar remains the timeless choice for those who value craftsmanship, sustainability, and authenticity.
Built for a Rewarding DIY Experience
We don’t offer installation services, but our products are continuously refined to make assembly as simple, intuitive, and enjoyable as possible. Each kit is thoughtfully engineered with pre-panelized components, detailed step-by-step instructions, and helpful support from real people whenever you need it.
Many of our customers tell us how rewarding it feels to step back and admire something they built themselves — a beautiful cedar structure that enhances their outdoor space for years to come.
That said, we understand that building isn’t for everyone. Some customers prefer to work with a local installer or contractor to help with their assembly — and that’s perfectly okay. While we don’t maintain a complete list of installers, we may know a few in your area, so feel free to give us a call at 1-888-658-1658 and ask. If you’ve already hired someone, let them know they can contact us anytime for guidance — we’ll support them just as we would support you.
Our goal is to build relationships that start before your purchase and last long after your project is complete.

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.
