Hi,
I currently have raised beds in an area of my garden that will soon be out of view behind my garden pergola bar, the raised bed is the exact width of my small plastic shed and I have been thinking of utilising this space and putting my shed up on it. The height is about a foot off the normal level and currently filled with soil and some small trees, here is my plan is. It solid please?
Cut trees down, leave roots in as they will be covered
The area is built at the front with large proper railway sleepers that are in sound condition
The back of the area is against the bottom concrete panel of a fence
Dig out the back area of soil and bed down a new (new type) sleeper using left over small stones and postcrete
Create a level between old and new sleepers, span will only be 4ft ish
Lay composite decking off cuts between old and new sleepers (enough to cover the floor area of shed
Decking won’t be seen so can be screwed down to the sleepers tight together with expansion areas to the left and right but not between boards
Empty shed and lift into position
Fill shed
Enjoy new freed up area where shed was
Thanks for reading
