Diy Shed Bases
how do i make a concrete base for a shed DIY?
First dig out the topsoil (known as vegetable soil), down to something fairly solid.
Place shuttering boards accurately around area, support with strong pegs - 1" steel tubing (gas pipe) is ideal.
Pack underneath shuttering to make level.
Put 3" - 4" hardcore on the base area and compact.
If you do not have hardcore, 3" ballast will suffice.
Cover with sheet of DPM (Damp Proof Membrane) polythene sheet, bringing up the side of the shuttering.
Fill with concrete, Minimum 4" for small shed (6'x4') up to 6" for a medium shed (10' x 8').
Concrete mix by volume - 9 20mm ballast : 2 Ordinary Portland Cement.
If building from block, thicken concrete at the edge to 8", for brick, 10".
To level, work a board on edge back and forth between the shuttering, filling holes and repeating. Trowelling (use a steel float) is an option but can be awkward if working on a large base.
