If you’re new to ShedPros, this Knowledge Center explains how professional shed projects are planned, built, and protected — especially in the unique conditions of Western Washington.

Sheds don’t fail because of the building.

They fail because of the site — water, soil, slope, and access.

Our goal is to help you understand those factors so you can make a smart decision, avoid costly mistakes, and end up with a shed that stays level, dry, and functional for decades.

Explore the topics below to learn how foundations, drainage, placement, permits, and long-term care all work together to protect your investment.

What Is ShedPros:

Our identity, standards, and what makes our approach different from kit sheds and big-box installers.

• Foundations & Gravel Pads
  Why foundations fail, what “proper” looks like, and how we design pads for long-term performance.

• Drainage & Water Management
  How we prevent pooling, rot risk, mud zones, and shifting—especially in wet-season installs.

• Placement & Access Planning
  Backyards, fence gates, slopes, soft lawns, tight turns—what’s possible and how we plan it safely.

• Permits, Setbacks & HOA Approvals
  What’s required, what varies by jurisdiction, and how we help you avoid “redo” headaches.

• Shed Design, Options & Upgrades
  Doors, windows, ramps, lighting, insulation planning—how to build a shed that fits your property and goals.

• Pricing & Process
  How we estimate projects, what affects cost, and what you should expect from consultation to install day.

• Moving, Re-Leveling & Repairs
  Can a shed be moved? Re-leveled? Rebuilt? When it’s worth it and when it’s not.

• Warranty & Long-Term Care
  What to expect over time and how to protect your investment.
