We will be in touch
Hi
just pulled down the old 8ft x 8ft wooden shed - which had a wooden base mounted on dirt set among some pavers around the edges. The strangeness is that when digging the dirt to level it, it turns out that under the dirt is an existing concrete base - the issue is that the base is about 2" to 3" below the level of the other pavers, so I now have an 8ftish+ square hole, with a concrete base surrounded by about a 2-3" wall of pavers - or a very shallow swimming pool. Irritatingly the plan is to mount the new shed on plastic grids(as they can go straight on dirt)- however these are only 4cm high so my concern is that if the hole fills the new shed base will be under water
Cheapest option I can think of is trying to locate some free paving slabs to pad the concrete base up - any other options that you can think of.
ta
pour some concrete in the hole?
Pads or blocks to raise the bearers sound easiest/cheapest/quickest.
Last shed erection I did we used broken concrete fence posts to sit the joists upon. They were only cosmetically broken, eg 6" chip, and were, er, cheap as chips. They were only going to be skipped if no-one took them.
