Do I need gravel, concrete, blocks, or skids under my shed?

The Short Answer

Your building arrives on skids already, so the question is what goes between those skids and the ground. Gravel pad is the gold standard: great drainage, stable, affordable.

What you don't want: bare dirt or grass. Moisture will work against you over time. Even the cheapest option, concrete blocks, makes a meaningful difference in longevity.
