Best Advice
The single best bit of advice I can give you when you build a garden shed is to get the foundation right. I'm not talking "close" as in chain-saw carpentry close, I'm talking dead on level.
A quarter-inch difference on the bottom is going to translate to a half-inch differnence at the top - and you've never seen frustration until you realize none of your bolts and screw holes line up because the darn buildingg isn't sitting level and square.
You can "cheat" a bit with a wooden structure you're building yourself - you're likely drilling the holes so a quarter-inch is something you can adjust for.
But if you're building a prefabricated unity -plastic, metal or what-have-you, then you had better get that foundation level. An extra ton of care at this bottom task (pun intended) will see the rest of the structure go up very smoothly. Needless to say - the opposite is equally true.
