Looking at.building a timber workshop, I have built one before but that was on flat ground on hard pack stone mud Base.
This one is on a slight decline and the ground seems clay all the way very soggy In winter.
Base dimensions are 8m x 5m and I'm thinking of drilling piles and building it on stilts.
.
Would I fill with concrete and some rebar. Or timber posts into concrete.
What sort of spacing should I use i know depends on tImber but I thought of using 5metre lengths to keep it easy. Say I spaced each Pillar 2metres apart in a grid what sort of timber dimension would be recommended. Load wise will be taking a quad bike and sit on mower. Any thoughts appreciated I will add this to projects page once I get the spec sorted.
THanks in advance
