20x14 Gravel Shed Pad Build

@maksimi3

Hello, Hope you are doing well. I can build your **20 ft × 14 ft shed pad** framed with 4 × 6 pressure-treated timbers and filled with compacted crushed-stone gravel, ready to support your wooden shed. The work will include leveling the site, installing a rigid timber frame, placing landscape fabric, and compacting the crushed stone in layers to sit flush with the top of the frame. I have 10 years of experience constructing outdoor timber-framed pads and gravel foundations for sheds and similar structures. I recently built a 16 ft × 12 ft timber-framed gravel pad that maintained square dimensions, proper compaction, and weed control for a residential shed installation. Do you also want the **corners anchored with spikes or brackets** for long-term stability? Thank you. Maksim.

Hi there, I can provide site layout review, shed pad specification, construction guidance, and field-ready recommendations for this project. I am a Licensed Civil Engineer and Professional Engineer in multiple states with 10 years of experience, providing grading, site preparation, foundation support, and small-structure pad design services. In my opinion, the most reliable solution is a 20' × 14' timber-framed granular base using PT 4×6 members, non-woven geotextile fabric, and 3/4" crushed angular stone compacted in 3" to 4" lifts to achieve a dense, stable bearing surface. For a wood shed pad like this, I would typically target a finished stone thickness of about 4" to 6", maintain squareness within about 1/4" to 1/2" across the diagonals, and keep final elevation tolerance within about 0.25" to support uniform load transfer and reduce differential settlement. I would also recommend corner anchorage with rebar or timber spikes, verification of subgrade firmness before placement, and plate compaction to improve interlock, bearing performance, and long-term serviceability. Via private chatting or meeting, I will provide a creative idea and a good technical solution for your project. If you need my services, please contact me anytime. Best

Hello, no problem. I am an experienced site contractor specializing in shed pads and foundations. I will construct a sturdy 20' x 14' crushed-stone pad for your shed, using 4x6 pressure-treated timbers and clean, compacted ¾-inch crushed stone. My process includes: excavating to achieve a level footprint, installing the timber frame with securely anchored corners, laying landscape fabric for weed control, and filling with compacted stone in layers flush to the top of the frame. I will bring a mini-excavator, plate compactor, and all necessary tools, and will remove all excess soil and debris. I am ready to schedule a site visit and begin. Sincerely, Lorenzo
