  1. Y'all make it sound so difficult all you need is 200 nails. 6 steel metal brackets. 6 4by4s. 5 sheets of tin sideing. 6 wood pallets made of pressure treated wood. 5 8by10 3inch thick pressure treated plywood boards. 1 10by10 3inch thick pressure treated plywood board and you can make a perfect shad all under $80

  2. The way they set the wood posts directly in concrete looks convenient, neat, and easy to do. But what happens in 5 years when they've rotted through due to constant contact with moisture (yes, this happens even to treated timbers)? Then you have to figure out a new way to support your shed.

  3. You need the gravel, you don't need the 4×4.
    Just run your sonotubes to the same height above ground, and drop in a cheap steel concrete anchor on top after filling.
    No wood to decay.
    And if you spend a couple bucks more per anchor, you can get the ones that allow you to level with a wrench if you ever need to.
