Don't think so. Four blocks implies one at each corner. There would be no support for the floor's center. The floor is 1.5" plastic and therefore flexible. You didn't state what kind of blocks, but here is a tip I learned when building my shed: Be sure NOT to use hollow concrete cinder blocks for the foundation; use solid concrete blocks. Concrete blocks and cinder blocks are not the same thing. Concrete blocks are significantly heavier, denser and rated to carry much more weight than cinder blocks, with far greater form strength. The more blocks you use, the less "bounce" you''ll have in the shed floor.

The shed needs to be built on a solid, level surface. A cement patio surface or wood treated platform is recommended.

Yes they can, just make sure you pay attention to how you're doing it. If you have your users guide, use it. If you don't look at each panel and what letter(s) it has on it. I have disassembled & reassembled my shed about 4 times. I've moved 3 times & my deck was replaced one time. It does take time & patience as well as help. I no longer use my user manual to reassemble as long as I pay attention to the letter(s).

If you need to move the shed to a new location you would need to follow the assembly instructions in reverse order and then reassemble, however is not recommended to continually disassemble/reassemble the shed multiple times.

Question

position of green roof panels on the Max

I have the Max with the green roof panels (2 with sky lights & 2 plain). Can the panels be placed with the sky lights in the front (all pictures are shown with them in the rear) ?? I have tried to assemble it this way, but am having trouble getting the top panels to lock on the walls and wonder if this is why.

My Ultra Max instructions shows a tip that the skylights can be installed in any of the three positions: front, middle, or rear. ( my model has a three section per side roof) Due to the amount of light coming in from the double door's windows on my model, we did not need them in the front.
Look at all the panels to see if there are any differences between those panels (other than the cutout for the skylights). If they are identical, you can put them both at the front.

Question

How do I get the roof panels into the track?

I've got 4 panels on the roof, no problem (or very little). But the second mid-panel will not slide into the ridge beam. We've tried everything from a gentle mallet to soaping the whole edge of the panel. The overlap to the front roof panel seems to be keeping the lip from fitting in.

The Big Max product line is manufactured exclusively for The Home Depot. We suggest calling your local Home Depot store for availability in your area. The stores in the south and midwest regions do not stock these sheds in store. If the Big Max shed of your choice is not available at your local retailer, please check with the store manager for further options.

Lowes is also carrying a Roughneck Line of sheds. You may want to contact your local Lowes for availability.

Most of our products are made from polyethylene and polypropylene. One of the features of these plastics is that they are easy to clean because materials do not adhere well to them. Unfortunately, this property prevents adhesives or paints from sticking well. We know of no way to change this fundamental property of the plastic at the point of use.
