I am making a big shed base at the moment and my foundations are small pads of concrete with a foundation block cemented on top. These blocks will be mostly in the ground.
So the block will be damp. I intend on screwing a base baton of treated timber to each line of pad stones. I will then screw my new floor frame onto these timber beams.
Do you know if masonry frame fixings could be used to hold the base timber plates down onto the foundation blocks ? Or do i really need to use stainless steel fixings.
I would like to use these things in the link because you don't need a plug as they just bite into the concrete.
