Correction:
The existing plastic shed is 8X8 not 10X10.
I've been looking at too many 10' sheds lately and have 10' on the brain.
With a building that size, a 21' side would give a lot of windage acting on it.
I'd want it securely fastened down also.
I'm considering a concrete slab for the old and new sheds, but probably will not do it.
I'm thinking of filling the "foundation" that comes as part of the shed [actually the floor] with cinders or concrete before applying the plywood or OSB surface.
As I spread the 1-1/2"- red cinders, running the lawn tractor with the plow over it seems to give a very firm stable surface to the pad.
I think some cap blocks buried just into into the pad's surface might do well for the actual foundation.
We'll see as the pad gets laid out.
Neither Iselle or the Kona wind that came shortly after bothered the existing shed in any way.
The plastic sheds seem to be a lot heavier than the metal ones.
I'm more worried about trees falling on it in a wind storm.
In looking at manuals for some of the plastic sheds, some say they are not for disassembly and reassembly.
The old one may not be useable.
It certainly cannot be moved without disassembling it.
It is too flimsy in its dilapidated condition.
I will at least try to disassemble it and see what happens.

This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
