Frequently asked questions
What size foundation does the AMERLIFE 10x8 FT Lean-to Storage Shed with Lockable Door need?
An 8 x 10 ft shed sits best on a pad 1 ft larger on every side: 10 x 12 ft. At 4 in of compacted crushed stone that is about 2.3 tons; a 4 in concrete slab under the footprint takes 49 bags of 80 lb mix. Whatever base you choose, it must be flat and level, because resin and steel kits rack out of square on uneven ground and the doors stop closing.
Does the AMERLIFE 10x8 FT Lean-to Storage Shed with Lockable Door need a permit?
At 80 sq ft it is exempt by size under all three common thresholds. The IRC exempts one-story storage sheds up to 200 sq ft, but many towns lower that to 120 or 100 sq ft, and setbacks, HOA rules and electrical work apply regardless. Check your local code before ordering.
Is $499.99 a good price for this shed?
