Ground was so saturated before we got this coldspell and froze everything that some stuff heaved a little. Not aloud to build anything outside town here with a permanent foundation/floor without a bunch of hassle, money, and friends so our two outside stalls are only post type 3 sided sheds.

The next year, in a place that wasn't so rocky, I used these drive in things (store bought post holes).
Drove them in, set the posts, and was under roof in a half day.

Got a couple more things to build this summer and know just what I'm gonna use.....
