Scarborough Fair Recommends a Gravel Foundation for Your Structure.

Picture
Why You Need To Build a Shed Foundation

Even if you plan to buy your shed pre-built, you'll still need to build a shed foundation – or hire someone to do so – before your new shed can be put into place.  A proper shed foundation is important for two main reasons:
  • The shed needs to sit on a stable, level surface for the structure to remain stable and for the door to operate properly.
  • The shed needs to sit slightly off the ground to allow for proper water drainage and minimize moisture transfer from the ground to the shed structure.

There are several types of shed foundations, and the kind you need may depend on where you live, the size of your shed and its intended use. 

Drainage is of utmost importance, as the greatest enemy to any shed is moisture.  If you look at older sheds around your neighborhood, you will notice that many of them are beginning to rot around the bottom of the structure.  This is because most, if not all, of those sheds do not have a prepared base underneath them. 

The best thing you can do to contribute to the longevity of your new building is to install a quality pad.  We recommend a minimum of 3” to 4” crushed (3/4") stone base, at least 2′ larger than your building in both directions.  Crushed stone allows for drainage should any moisture get underneath your shed.  For smaller sized sheds, concrete blocks could be a cost effective method.




The foundation for your structure MUST be set up before the delivery.

What Our Customers Have To Say

I normally don't do this but I have to share... today I went to Scarborough Fair in Mardela (the place right off of 50 that sells sheds and stuff) and I was absolutely blown away. First of all the place is huge but they have the most unique stuff in there!  They had everything from Maryland pride/Ravens/Orioles gifts to country stuff and beach stuff - things that I never knew I even wanted are all located in this store.  In addition to wanting to do all of my Christmas shopping there IT SMELLED LIKE COOKIES!!!!  Like they must have a grandma in the back baking cookies just for their customers smelling pleasure.   Seriously, next time you drive by stop in because it is awesome and while you are there feel free to grab my Christmas present - I will take one of everything (including the pumpkin rolls they have up front).       --Christian Auman

Sorry dear didn't get to put a bowl on your gift. Thanks, Mark & Debbie for all your help & suggestions I had no idea what I was in for.  Fb family if you need a well built shed & quality service Scarborough Fair is the place to stop & check things out...Happy Holiday's folks!
