How to install shed in backyard. needs drilling and any surface is fine?

[Questions1]

I am looking to put a shed in my backyard to be able to store some items like showels, grill, small lawn mower etc. My backyard is back and the most sheds I go to see at homedepot are too big.
Recently I saw 6x4 vertical storage shed by Suncast that cost less than $500 at sam's club and menard. This one https://www.suncast.com/extra-large-vertical-storage-shed-with-tool-hooks-peppercorn.html

Can I put this on any backyard ground floor? Does it need drilling of ground floor to be able to install this or it doesn't require any drilling of the ground?
My backyard is surface floor is little bit uneven with concrete and pebble small rocks. If it doesn't require drilling of ground and it can sit between pebble ground and cocrete ground, I will go buy this. If this require drilling of the backyard ground floor, I am not sure.
Thanks

yeah it looks like i have to dig big holes or destroy the concrete floor or something. i have no expereince in these and can't do it. if it is not so hard like assembling a chair you bought from IKEA, I can try it but doing anything on the bakcyard gorund floor or concrete floor, I have no experience. However i have neigbhors around me all endless of these small sheds installed left and right as if you can just assemle and put it anywhere you want.

That is a weird interpretation of "- To secure the shed to a concrete slab, use masonry fasteners available at your local hardware retailer. "

here is the building code. called the building dept told me any shed big or small need permit and on concrete only

https://www.skokie.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7393/Shed-Requirements?bidId=

my backyard is half soil with pebbeles on top and half concrete.
I only need a small shed in my not so big backyard like this https://www.wayfair.com/storage-org...d16c911ee827a00610a82b820&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww
or like this https://www.suncast.com/extra-large-vertical-storage-shed-with-tool-hooks-peppercorn.html
can any handyman do this?

The state building code appears to exempt one-story detached accessory structures that are 120 square feet or smaller (although I guess you should track down the original source rather than trusting a 3rd party):

Chapter 1: Scope and Administration, Illinois Building Code 2021 | UpCodes

UpCodes offers a consolidated resource of construction and building code grouped by jurisdiction

up.codes

But I'm not sure how it works in Illinois, and if Skokie can pass its own requirements that are stricter than the state building code.

I am not a pro. I know that the manufacturer calls that a 'shed', but I would call it a 'deck box'. I would be shocked if you needed a permit. I suspect if you bring a picture into your local building inspector they will confirm the same.

 

[Questions1]

this is my backyard not so big.hald soil with pebble, half concrete that is cracked. can i still set up one of these shed or deck box above?
