Site Preparation for Storage Structures and Gazebos
A Level site is most important. Crushed Stone is recommended to evenly support a building or gazebo. The Stone provides a level base for the structure and creates a French-drain effect for rain runoff. Our storage sheds, garages, and gazebos come with 4"x4" pressure-treated foundation beams. This will eliminate the need for any concrete blocks. Elite Outdoor Structures offers mulitple site preparations options. Including: Stone pads, anchor kits, concrete pads, sono-tube footings, and stamped concrete. Perimeter and retaining wall options are also available. Your site work needs are never a problem. Please contact us to set up a site visit.

**Stone Delivery**
Want to level your own pad? Elite Outdoor Structures can supply you the crushed stone needed for your foundation. Current charges are $27.00 per ton and a $40.00 delvery charge within 10 miles of our Langhorne location.
Check the level of your site as follows:
1. Place a stake in the ground at the starting point (highest point) of the stone pad for your structure and attach a string to it.
2. Measure out the length of the stone pad. (1' larger on both sides) Place another stake
3. Hang a line level in the center of the string.( line levels are available at any hardware store for approx $3)
4. Raise or lower the string until the bubble in the level appears between the lines and tie it off.
5. Measure the distance between the string to the ground (low side).
6. This will determine the slope of the ground.
Your selected site must be level. So, please contact us with any questions you might have including doing the site work yourself.
