When you buy an outdoor storage shed, you often look at price, quality and type of materials used for the shed, and how long the shed will last. Other things that are sometimes considered include maintenance requirements, and accessories available.
Not everyone thinks about floors and foundations for their outdoor sheds though, and some people are surprised to find out after the fact that most sheds don't come with a floor. Instead, you're expected to choose and install or build your own foundation for the shed before putting it into place.
Compound Saw
Now creating foundations and floors for outdoor storage sheds is not too difficult, but you do need to know how you're going to use the shed so you'll install the proper flooring for it.
If you're simply putting an outdoor storage shed in place to use as a generic storage room for seasonal items or family keepsakes, you can simply use bare ground for your shed flooring. Keep in mind however, that the ground is dirty of course, but it can also become wet. If your storage items are in simple cardboard boxes, things could be ruined by weather changes, and mice or bugs getting into the storage shed through the ground.
So if you plan to use a bare ground floor for your shed, be sure you're storing your belongings in solid plastic and waterproof containers and bins. It's also best to locate your shed somewhere in the yard where there is a slight rise to the ground, so water will not collect on the floor.
A better flooring option for outdoor storage sheds is to create a simple concrete foundation. This can be done using poured concrete or by placing concrete blocks side by side. Make the concrete foundation approximately one foot larger than the shed on all sides, to be sure water is not able to get in under the edges.
Another popular shed flooring material is wood. A wooden platform can be easily built using standard two by fours, and the shed simply sits down on and attaches to this platform. Like the concrete base though, be sure to build your flooring at least one foot larger than the shed on all sides.

The C10FSH Sliding Dual Compound Miter Saw features a powerful 12-amp motor that generates a no-load speed of up to 3,800 RPM for easily making crosscuts and miters in even the toughest workpieces. The electronic speed control ensures consistent RPM throughout the cut, so you get smooth, precise, controlled cuts each and every time.
Additionally, the C10FSH utilizes a Poly-V-Belt transmission rather than a traditional gear transmission. This soft start technology allows the saw to operate smoothly and quietly and reduces recoils during startup.
Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels
Hitachi designed the C10FSH for versatile, easy use. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops allow for simple miter adjustments at the most common angles: 15.0, 22.5, 31.6, and 45.0 degrees to the right or left. The tool also features a 57-degree miter angle to the right and a 45-degree miter angle to the left for maximum flexibility. Additionally, a white-on-black miter scale provides superior visibility, allowing you to easily adjust the angle of the cutting blade for creating miters in crown molding and other trim pieces.
And with a bevel range of 45 degrees to the left and right, you can quickly and easily flip the saw blade while leaving your material in place. To save you even more time, bevel stops to the right and left are conveniently located at zero and 45 degrees.
The 10-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of trim and other woodwork, and the linear ball-bearing slide system and adjustable pivot fence allow for accurate cutting of large workpieces over 12 inches deep.
Laser Marker Technology for Perfect Cuts Everytime
Hitachi equipped the C10FSH with its exclusive Laser Marker System, which can be activated before the blade is in motion for exact alignment and predictable blade placement. The laser marker is easily adjustable to suit your preferences, simply line up the laser with your mark on the workpiece, and the saw blade will make an exact cut along the laser guide. As long as your measurements are right, your cuts will be, too!
Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
The C10FSH contains plenty of features to help you make the perfect cut the first time. To start, a splinter guard behind the fence increases safety and reduces tear-out for clean, finished cuts. A patented, fully adjustable chip deflector also prevents tear out, aligns the cutting line, and provide zero-clearance support.
For further refinement, a large table provides a stable guide and sturdy support, a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place, a comfortable vertical handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip keeps you in control, and an electric brake feature quickly halts the blade to prevent unintended cuts.
The C10FSH also includes a dust collector that minimizes accumulation of dust and particles in your both your workspace and the saw's interior components, keeping your jobsite clean and prolonging the life of the tool. An added bonus, easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term.
Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty. It is compatible with Hitachi's UU610 Universal Work Station.
