Building a skid foundation for a shed. What is the best material to put under the skids for stability/leveling. Uniform gravel (like this) or crushed stone like a 5/8 minus?
Thanks,
A better base for skid foundation, gravel or crushed stone

Best Answer
Tamped gravel uniform or not, big or small, rounded or jagged with thin concrete pads (home-made or store bought), retaining wall caps or path pavers set into the gravel. Like doing a walking path really. You can even do a peanut brittle type setup by pouring in a lot of real soupy cement. But, the 4-inch carve-out of the ground you'll do should retain the gravel quite well.
