Whacker plate alternative for shed base

[Iain741]

Hi all,

I'm putting in the base for a new metal yardmaster shed. The base will be 3x4m, I've dug 150mm down and I'm planning on having 100mm type 1 with 50mm slabs beded in cement.

There's no rear access to my garden, accept through the house. As it is, I'm going to have to carry through all the type 1 bucket by bucket. But I don't think I'd be able to get a whacker plate through.

Can anyone suggest a manual alternative to the whacker?

Cheers

Or hire a : https://redbanduk.co.uk/belle-rtx60...MIm8Xs4Jqj8QIVBJ3VCh3klAf6EAQYCSABEgLjcfD_BwE
And small whackers are available as well that are carryable or will go on a sack truck

Carrying 2.5 ton of stone though the house in buckets sounds not much fun! Then after that, sand, cement, and heavy slabs.
Maybe there's an easier way of building a shed? Timber?

Thanks guys... The smaller whacker might be a goer for me! I'll see what I can get locally.

Yea it's a bit of a nightmare taking it through the house! It's about the only option I have though. Luckily the slabs are out back already, removed from an old patio. Got one of the ton bags shifted through yesterday, probably in about 30 runs....day off today to recover haha
