I need to put up an inexpensive building to house the tractor and implements. I have decided on a 20X21 enclosed carport with a 9X7 door and two windows. I can get it completely installed for about $3200. The area I want to put it in is sloped with the high end being about a foot higher than the low end. I have considered two remedies. One is to bring in 15 yards and level it with a slope on the outside of the building to the low grade and the second is to use 6X6s with the inside of the building level and gravel laid down. The advantage of the 6X6s as I see it is the ground underneath the building will be virgin so I shouldn't have any settling and it will be easier to mow up against the 6X6s. I can get rough sawn 6X6s that are 8 footers at Home Depot for $10 each. I will have to drill holes through them so that the 40" stakes can be driven into the ground.
I hope to put a concrete pad down one of these days and add electrical. Of course I asked at the Township and for one of these buildings they want a permit! It is really a temporary building that can be moved. It is only staked down. They only want their permit money and so they can reassess my property.
Any suggestions for the building leveling?
