Foundations

[sleeper341]

I am about to build a conservatory, and need to put down the foundations. I am building from a kit which has a steel base which sits on 8 concrete pillars for the foundation.

Could someone tell me what sort of concrete mix would be best? The pillars are 450mm cubed.
Alternatively, can anyone tell me where I can Buy preformed concrete items like this?

Many thanks

No need as 450mm is the length of one concrete block so your pillars are 2 blocks wide all the way up layed across each other of course.

As regards the foundations what spec on the concrete does it say and what is the ground like,? then you will know what conrete foundations to put down

you could dig the holes and get a ready mix firm to bring you the concrete.

This is the best way if you don't have a cemment mixer and a lot less hard work if you do.

I would go for a spot mix company who charge for exactly the amount you require and many even offer a free wheel-barrowing service.
