How do I make a concrete base for a shed?
Answers:
Most of the above is correct.
It may be more practical to frame in the area, and have a concrete company deliver concrete in their truck. The mixing will save you hours, and your back.
They will dump it, and you smooth it out with a concrete rake.
They will give you a cost per square yard. tell them your dimensions, and make a 4 inch slab. That is what driveways are. Don't tell them you are making a shed, because local code may require you to put in metal reinforcement. Tell them you are making a foundation for a barbq or something. Apparently the reinforcement is needed to store a lawn mower, but not needed in a driveway where cars drive.
Other answers:
First you need to level the space that you are planning to use. Depending on how large the shed will be and the weight of the items being stored in it (i.e. just tools, or vehicles?) you will need footers.
Honestly, you need to hire a contractor. You don't need to go all out either. If you know anyone in construction, they can likely point you to someone who does work like this on the side, for much less money than going directly through the contractor. Don't forget permits.

First remove all vegetation,then compact the soil,determine all four corners for levelness and pour concrete to the desired level for the concrete base of the shed,leaving out pockets sufficient big and depth for grouting the poles of the shed
Supposing you are referring to a slab, you need to clear the area, make and place the form around it, mix the cement ,pour,level, and let dry. Try diynet for a bit more detail, or go to your local lowes,home depot, carter,etc. and they would be happy to help.
