Hi All,
I am looking at designing a new large shed for my garden to house various items for garden and bikes and a workshop including sink/electricity etc.
I am at the start of this process and since I have never done this before I would like to state what I have been thinking about and ask advice as to whether I am going down the right route.
The concrete slab in large and I would like to put in a shed that is about 6m x 6m.
1. Should I use concrete blocks or wood?
2. Would I still need a wooden floor or could I get away with using the concrete that is already there?
3. Would it be advisable to embed the main corner posts in to the concrete or just have the shed sitting on the concrete?
4. If I should embed the posts in the concrete how would I do this? use the metal fixers used to put in fence posts?
5. How would I make sure that the bottom of the shed is protected against moisture? Should I wrap the bottom in DPC?
6. Does anyone have any links to good tutorials on building a large shed? I cant find any when I google it.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give.
Regards,
Degsy
