hi, we're about to build a 12x7 wooden shed, for my workshop. We need to build a concrete base with DPM... Or unless you know of another way, please suggest.
If we do build a concrete base;
Do you know how high this base should be? (6" from ground ideal?)
And how high above ground should the damp proof membrane be fitted? (2" from ground ok?)
Any advice or tips as well? We have not built a base before. It has to be damp proof because of all my tools & equipment, it will be insulated with polystyrene panels inside too.
Can you also please advise how much sand/cement will be required? And roughly how much it will cost? Do we use chippings/slate as well when mixed?
Thank You for any help
