I am looking into putting one of these onto the house:
I am having a hard time deciding how best to create the base for it and have a couple of questions I wonder if anyone here can help with:
1. The base needs to be level but as I understand it concrete bases should be graded to allow water to run off I believe it would be half a centimetre drop over the 3m.
2. Can I lay the concrete base up to the wall of the house?
3. If not what gap would I need and how would I manage that as a potential point of entry for water/damp into the garden room?
4. Would you recommend an alternative base to construct on top of?
5. I am also considering laying a new patio at the same time as putting down the base, would it be a good idea to just patio the entire area and build on that, dunster house suggests a "suitably consolidated base"
Any thought would be much appreciated.
Cheers
