Need to lay a slab of concrete to form base for garden shed thing.
Was going to insert some steel straps to attach uprights to.
Problem is they are going to be a bit close to the edge and was wondering best way to reinforce so as the edge doesnt easily snap off
Attached Diagram, the red thing would be the steel.
middle drawing - I could create a deep bit under the strap ?
or Bottom drawing, coil some galvaised fence wire and put round strap in the concreate in hope to reinforce ?
what do you think, how would the professionals do this ? (and I don't mean Bodie & Doyle)
do I do both or is there a better way?
(Been on the home brew, just to explain if thread makes no sense)
