Concrete Shed Base
Why do I need a concrete base? Can’t I use paving blocks or slabs, or just put it on tarmac?
The design of the concrete prefabricated building with panels bolted together requires a strong concrete raft
base. Any movement in the base will cause the shed to move.
The concrete base is the customer’s responsibility
The old saying, “a building is as good as its foundations”, is as true for your concrete sectional shed as it is for
any other type of building. The better the specification of the base, the more peace of mind you will have in
the future. If you skimp on the base, you may regret it later!
Concrete base design
Your concrete base needs to be designed properly to be strong enough not to crack or sink over the lifetime of
your shed.
Your shed base should be designed to suit the soil on your site. For instance, if the soil is clay, with the
likelihood of movement in the future, you will need to reinforce it, and probably make the raft thicker. If
your building is over 30 sq.m, you will need to gain approval from your local control office, who will need to
inspect and approve your concrete shed base plans.
Ensure that you have a
CLEAR
and
LEVEL
base on which to assemble the garage.
