Metal shed to be used for cat rescue

[hamsterjill]

Is anyone here familiar with buildings such as this one?

If so, do these buildings need a slab foundation? Obviously would need finish out, etc.

I have more questions if anyone is willing to answer them. Thanks in advance!!!

2. We are trying!!!!

Not there just yet, but getting closer. I need to learn ALL that I can so that I know if we are being scammed, a bid is reasonable, etc.

So I figured I would start now and see if anyone on DU might be able to offer some information.

Hope you are well!!!

3. most likely needs a slab or at least a footer

wind can be hard on those things, the cheaper ones always provide some summertime windstorm entertainment around here (they can get airborne pretty easily)

I would say call the seller/manufacturer and ask for info/recommendations.

4. Great advice, I've never seen one that wasn't on a poured slab

which would then have to be covered with vinyl floor covering for sanitation purposes.

I would also say that such buildings can be ovens in summer, so make sure there is an exhaust fan on at least one gable end, a fan that can be covered up in winter.

As for cheesy, cheap sheds, I've seen them floating down the arroyos here after a large thunderstorm.
