Pour 2 inches of pea-size gravel. Tamp the gravel tight. Cover the gravel with a 6 millimeter polyethylene sheet. This plastic sheet serves as a vapor barrier to keep ground water from penetrating.

Build a form around the perimeter. Use 2-inch by 4-inch boards. Drive 1-inch by 2-inch stakes in the ground behind the boards every 48 inches to strengthen the form. Pour the concrete. Allow the concrete to cure for one week before constructing the building.
