I'm intending to make a storage/workspace (think of it as a garden shed) which is on a steep slope. It will be a permanent structure with a hard floor (flags) and block walls with a timber frame on top.
Because of the slope, the uphill side will have a higher block wall, which will be in contact with the soil. Building the wall is easy, but I'm wondering how to make it moisture proof?
I was going to use a normal visqueen membrane under the floor but realise that won't do, as it will need to come up the sides of the block wall, between them and the soil, and then what? It'll be showing above ground, and I'd need to step it down the sides to follow the stepped side walls.
I only want a single skin wall but I need it to be dry!
Hope I've explained this enough.
