Morning All
I’m going to be building a shed in our garden and have started work on the base for it. The shed will be 10×6 ft and have dug a base pit out that is slightly larger then this and about 6 inches deep. I have half filled this with rubble and plan to fill the top with concrete.
As I understand it I need to put a wodden frame work around the area to be concreted to maintain shape etc, do I have to use any particular type of wood for this or is anything ok and does this frame work get removed after the concrete has set?
I also recall somebody saying that you should make the base smaller then the floor of the shed to allow for drainage or something along those lines. If so two of the walls to the shed are close to existing walls in the garden so would it be ok to leave these “gaps” or better to fill them in with gravel or something similar ?
Sorry if this is a bunch of daft or obvious questions and your advice is much appreciated 🙂
