I am trying to build a shed foundation. Can I use the drainage rock?

The shed I am trying to build is 8ft by 7ft. The foundation will be 9ft by 8ft (is it a good size or should it be bigger?). I plan to use the drainage rock in below link to fill the pad. Is this a good choice? Kolor Scape 0.5-cu ft 50-lb Drainage Rock (0.5- 3-in Rock Size) 337500075 at Lowes.com Also for an 8 * 7 shed, do I have to use rebar on the foundation, or it is ok without using them? I am in NY area if that matters. Thanks! submitted by /u/Hvanc [link] [comments]
