Hi,

Hoping someone can help with regards to getting the base of my shed levelled. My property is built into a hillside and as such my back garden has 2 retaining walls at 90 degrees to one another. There is natural slate patio laid up to the retaining walls and I thought this would be an ideal place to build a shed. I now have a 10 x 8 shed ready to go and want to push it up into the corner where the 2 retaining walls meet. The problem I have is the patio falls away from this corner in 2 distinct directions to help with drainage, so when I lay the shed base on the ground I have a significant amount of rock back and forth. Also as the paving is natural stone each slab has lumps and bumps all over the place.

Do I just build the shed and let it naturally form to the shape of the patio, or is there an alternative whereby I could fit adjustable feet to the floor section cross members to compensate for any undulation, is that even a common practice?

Look forward to any advice.

Cheers.

some packing? e.g. timber, paving slabs, roof tiles, concrete blocks, bricks etc.
 
the wood needs to be off the ground to prevent rot
start at the heighest point with say a bit off slate or slab and support the timbers every 16-24"
