Doing a shed base myself, using patio slabs. Intent is for a 10x8 shed, which will house bike, some weight equipment, approx. 150kg worth of stuff plus me when I train in there.
Was going for 150mm deep, filled 100mm sub base
Then mix builders sand and cement (with a paddle mixer and builders bucket – not confident with pro mixer) and lay down the 28mm thick paving slabs
Note I did have a 3m fern tree cut down and some of the smaller roots were a hindrance when I test dug a couple of holes (see pics) – but would plan on taking my reciprocating saw to the troublesome ones – haven’t got an axe.
Does this my approach sound good for the soil type/intended use etc?
Thanks
