How to anchor garden shed without a concrete base?

BradI

I've got a 3x3 garden shed kit I'm looking at putting up on existing small thin pavers. What is the best sort of foundation I can use? I want to just be able to pull out a couple of pavers to put posts (or similar in) and bolt the shed to the posts.

Thanks!

Hello @BradI 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about anchoring your shed. 

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - How to build a paver base for a shed? by @Daveq1. I believe that it is a general consensus among shed manufacturers that they will only warrant a shed if it is anchored to a concrete base. In the discussion it was suggested to pour concrete piers in the four corners of the shed. You can still use your pavers, but it is not enough to secure your shed to the ground.

If the shed is not properly anchored to a concrete base, there is the possibility of it being blown away in a heavy storm and causing accidental injury.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
