Hello,
Hopefully someone can help. I'm currently creating a shed base on very uneven ground, half of which has the old shed base on it (a mixture of the cracked concrete slab and bricks). The shed will be 16' by 9'. I've checked with the shed company which way the floor bearers will run (lengthways), so I'm making a series of 9 foot 4x2" bearers running across the width at 2 foot intervals.
I've got about half way across by sinking short posts into the ground, levelling them up and then adding postcrete. So far so good. But now I've got to the concrete/brick bit and I need another approach. I was thinking of using brick or breezeblock pillars with mortar, and then attaching the beams with long screws and plugs or expansion bolts. They need to be about 12" high.
So, questions - has anyone got a better way to do it? If not, what kind of bricks/blocks would be best? Aerated blocks are only for indoors right?
Any advice gratefully received. Cheers.
