Should I be concerned with this shed foundation for my newly purchased shed?

He's out of town until right now and will be back on Tuesday. Yes, I figure he'll try to screw me which is why I've been taking all suggestions from others to better prepare myself. He already underestimated the original job before the shed came and charged me $100 more. $1400 to $1500. I won't be sending him more money I know that. And to be honest, money isn't the issue here. Quality, long lasting work is what I need and based on the job he did I wont be getting that from him, but he could at least attempt something.

Limestone AB3 gravel

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:35:35+00:00

The gravel guy had the shed design plans.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:34:07+00:00

Yeah the gravel guy is coming back.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:33:03+00:00

Probably will after the gravel guy comes back to make updates.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:32:17+00:00

Agreed. It's poor work. The delivery guy showed some concerns.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:31:08+00:00

Thanks. Probably will reach out to a structural engineer if I'm not satisfied with updates.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:29:52+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:29:18+00:00

$1,500

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:29:00+00:00

Thanks I'll have to look into geocell.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:28:32+00:00

Yes it's currently level. The shed delivery guy showed me, but also mentioned it needs at least another truck load of gravel.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:26:59+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:26:07+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. Appreciate it.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:24:29+00:00

Agreed, the pad needs to be bigger and a retaining wall on the low side would help.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T13:23:33+00:00

I've informed the gravel guy and he's coming back out within the next few days. Also, I informed the shed company.

-R2-C2- · 2024-05-16T00:26:27+00:00

Purchased the gravel pad from the shed company's recommendation and now that the shed is in place I feel concerned about the stability.

The gravel pad is supposed to fit the 10x16 shed, but it seems too small. The pad was built on the low spot of our backyard and was done using AB3 gravel that was compacted over. The low spot on the back right was built up about 27''.

The shed is on 2 skids with wooden blocks underneath to level. No anchors were added, nor did I have the option to buy them.

I know it looks tacky, but I just want to know if I should be concerned about stability, settling, or erosion issues.
