Is it better to put a shed on blocks or a full pad?

The Short Answer

Blocks are faster and cheaper. A full gravel pad provides more even support, better drainage around the entire base, and a cleaner overall look.

Blocks are faster and cheaper. A full gravel pad provides more even support, better drainage around the entire base, and a cleaner overall look. For smaller buildings and tighter budgets, blocks are a fantastic solution. For larger buildings or any situation where you want the best long-term performance, a gravel pad is worth the extra investment.

If you're deciding between the two, consider the size of the building. A 10x12 on blocks works great. A 12x24 or larger benefits from the more distributed support of a full pad.
