TOPIC: hiding blocks for shed floor

hiding blocks for shed floor 4 Years, 3 Months ago  
I used your shed floor plans with the hiding blocks concept to design my shed. I then tried to hire a contractor to build my shed. He said that we could not use the hide the blocks concept because the weight of the wall studs need to be directly over the center of the blocks or the support would not be directly down. Could you please clarify how the pier blocks provide vertical support for walls if the shed walls are actually built beyond the blocks themselves.

The shed is 12x16.

Thank you,
Corey

You can hide the blocks under the shed, you just want them to be as far out toward the edge as possible. Follow the directions here - it will be fine. I must stress, however - you must use the correct number of blocks!!!
