I levelled a patch of earth for a 9’ x 8’ shed I’m building myself. It’s using ecobase plastic grid system.
I thought it seemed all level with the spirit level. Finished the stud walls today and clearly the top front beam is not level with the back one. I think it’s the front left corner too high.
I’m trying to find out my options.
I didn’t get concrete as I’ve had no local builder return my query. I don’t want to do it myself I’m sure that won’t be level, hence ecobase grids.
I could dismantle the walls and try to level the earth again. But I thought I did first time so there’s no guarantee I’ll do it the second time. Don’t want to reassemble shed to find out. Also don’t know if it’s a small area or if it’s a large area, whole thing could be a slope for all I know. Spirit levels are not accurate over long distance.
I wondered about using spacers/shims on the lower end, but what do I use for this? It’s various heights as it slopes up to the high point. I don’t want a slab in one corner and that’s it.
So I then wondered about these plastic adjustable feet you can get. They seem like a good idea I can put them on the ecobase. But they’re plastic, bit concerned they’ll break under the weight.
just wondered what are the best options. I’m trying to reduce costs too.
thanks
