As to the concrete slab, I don't know what the regulations are where you
live. Here in Virginia Beach, there are a couple of regulations
that apply.<br><br>
1. If you put down a slab, it's considered a permanent
structure. Consiquently,<br>
you will need a building permit. <br><br>
2. If you get a permit, you will have to worry about:<br>
a. how far it is from your property
lines<br>
b. what percentage of you
"green" area is covered. This can be a show <br>
stopper,
especially if you have a pool, and or a deck.<br><br>
3. As someone pointed out, does it get standing water & very soggy
where you <br>
plan on putting the shed?<br><br>
When I erected my vinyl shed, I put it in the back corner of my
yard. <br>
Unfortunately, we'd get standing water there. So I used some garden
timbers and<br>
made an enclosure slightly larger than the base of my shed. Then I
filled it with<br>
crush-n-run (gravel) and topped it off with dirt and a vapor
barrier. Then I used<br>
solid cynder block for the floor.<br><br>
