Types of Shed Foundations We Offer
Concrete vs. Gravel Shed Foundations
If you’re looking for an affordable option for your shed foundation, gravel is an excellent choice. It s a simple way to provide your shed with additional support, making it last longer and requiring less main- tenance. On the other hand, concrete foundations require a higher initial cost, but they are long-lasting, easy to maintain, and provide your shed with an extra strong base.
Considerations
Here are some other things to keep in mind as you make your choice of our concrete and gravel foundations:
- Purpose and use for the shed
- Budget
- Climate Conditions
- Time to Install
- Local regulations and codes
- Soil type and conditions

FAQs
Not all swingsets require a base, however, they should include some support or anchoring to ensure they don’t tip over. This can include concrete footings, gravel or mulch bases, and more.
The cost of a swingset base will depend on the size and scope of your project and the material you choose for your base. Request a price sheet for more detailed information about the costs of different bases.
It can be cheaper to build your own swingset rather than buying a pre-built one. However, whether it’s cheaper depends on the materials you choose, the complexity of the project, if you have the necessary tools it takes, and how much time it will take to build.
We understand that safety is the most important consideration when choosing a base for your children’s swing set. That’s why we recommend a rubber mulch pad, wood chip pads, artificial turf pads, or pea gravel pads. While all these options have different benefits and drawbacks, they’re all made for shock absorption, reducing the risk of injury.
The time it takes to build a base for a playset will depend on the type of base you choose. A pea gravel pad typically takes us a day to complete. Contact us to find out how long it will take to install our other bases.
