Don't use a foundation or cinder blocks. A foundation goes all around
and you want ventilation. Cinder blocks are made from cinders from coal
fires and you want concrete pillars which don't use cinders and have
solid bottoms so they don't settle. (If a cement block is set on it's
side, it looses it strength.) The manufacturer of the shed usually
recommends something depending upon the height they want. Usually solid
4" x 8" x 16" concrete blocks are sufficient. This allows ventillation
under the shed.


Tell that to MOST of the homes in the northeast. Most are built on a
cinder block foundation. I think you have your ingredients wrong, but
to appease, it would be fine to use cement blocks and leave a few
inches every two feet open for ventilation
