When To Choose A Concrete Foundation
There is one main scenario when you should choose a concrete foundation for your shed: When your shed or garage doesn’t have a pre-built floor.
If you shed or garage comes with a floor built in, then a gravel shed pad is your best choice. A gravel shed pad helps to keep the bottom of your shed dry and it reduces the amount of water that splashes up against the sides of the shed. It is the preferred foundation for sheds with wood floors. We have an entire article detailing the differences between gravel vs. concrete shed bases!
If you purchase a shed without a floor, we’d be happy to install a concrete slab for you. Many larger prefab garages will also need concrete footers and concrete floors installed.

FAQs
The best type of concrete foundation depends on the type of project you’re looking to complete. There are several different concrete strengths, and the best one to use for your foundation will depend on what you’re looking to build.
The depth of a concrete foundation depends on a number of factors such as frost line considerations, soil type, the load the foundation will bear, and your local building regulations. Typically, the minimum depth of your concrete foundation should be 12” below the ground and below the frost line in colder climates.
The lifespan of concrete foundations depends on soil conditions, foundation quality, maintenance, materials used, and other factors. Generally, most concrete foundations last 50 to 100 or more years as long as they’re well-constructed and properly maintained.
For an average size foundation of 16×24, the typical cost is $4,000. However, the exact cost will depend on your project’s size and scope. You can request a price sheet from us that includes different foundation sizes.
Concrete foundations typically take 28 days to cure when the concrete reaches its highest strength. The curing process at minimum should last 7 days.
A concrete slab foundation is a single layer of concrete that’s typically 4 to 6” thick while a concrete pier foundation consists of multiple columns spaced at intervals to support the structure’s weight. The main difference is that concrete slabs distribute weight evenly and concrete piers transfer the load across designated points. Also, slabs are better in areas with even soil distribution while piers are better suited for uneven terrain.
