If you have a stable base, it will also be easier for you to fit and assemble the other parts of the shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A shed base can be constructed from a wide array of construction materials. Some of the most prevalent and effective <a href=\"https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/shed-bases\/\">shed bases <\/a>include timber bases, paving slabs bases, concrete bases, and plastic bases. In this post, we will show you how to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/why-do-you-need-a-shed-base\/\">shed base<\/a> from different building materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factors to Consider Before You Build a Garden Shed Base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I have THE best neighbours.

Also, a garden building should be accessible from different directions. For instance, if you plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/shed-paints\/\">preserve it with some paint<\/a>, a shed that you can easily access from all sides will make the painting job a whole lot easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this, we do not recommend that you construct a shed next to another structure like a wall or any other garden building (log cabins and summer houses). While garden buildings, log cabins and summer houses might be constructed in different gardens, they should be away from other garden sheds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/LVLMLeah\/status\/1160677092918382594<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electrical Fittings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you&#8217;re a qualified electrician, we recommend that you contact a professional if you are planning to install electrical wires in your shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All garden sheds should be constructed on spots with enough sunlight to light up the whole shed, making it easier for you to complete your<strong> various DIY tasks<\/strong>. Additionally, if you choose not to install any electricity, the content of your garden storage unit will be much easier to identify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/lvmbard\/status\/1388549307847032832<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step by Step Guide to Building a Shed Base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concrete Shed Base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A concrete base might be ideal for you if you are planning to construct a large garden shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Clear the Plants From the Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by clearing the plants and vegetation on the ground where you are planning to <a href=\"https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/how-to-build-a-raised-garden-bed\/\">build a garden shed on<\/a>. After that, set out the area you will be working on<strong> with some pegs and a string<\/strong>. The string should cover the area where the concrete shed base will be positioned when it is constructed. Ensure that you get all the angles and corners as exact as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shed base!

Pour it to a thickness of <strong>about 75 mm<\/strong>. If the hardcore is unevenly distributed on the surface, you can flatten it with a rake. After that, compact it gently to get an even surface that can hold the weight of the whole shed building. If you don&#8217;t like using hardcore, you can also use brick rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fix some wooden boards around the designated area <strong>using a spirit level <\/strong>to check if the surface is completely flat or not. These will shape the concrete base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you finish fixing the boards around the perimeter of the area you are working on to create a frame, you have to prepare <strong>a concrete mixture<\/strong>. To increase the concrete&#8217;s strength, you can mix it with water and ballast. Most concrete bags have certain instructions that can give you insight into the different mixing ratios of concrete, ensuring that you read these before beginning your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taken me almost a whole day to build a poxy shed base.

Pour cement mixture into the excavated garden trench, thereby creating a sturdy sub-base for the slabs. You can mix high-quality cement with coarse sand at a specific ratio (1:8) to get an effective cement mixture that can secure the slabs to the ground. Distribute the cement evenly on the trench, using a rake and use a spirit level to ensure a flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Lay\/Fix the Paving Slabs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Constructing-a-shed-base-at-the-backyard-500x500.png\" alt=\"Constructing a shed base at the backyard\" class=\"wp-image-17655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Constructing-a-shed-base-at-the-backyard-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Constructing-a-shed-base-at-the-backyard-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/homeswhiz.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Constructing-a-shed-base-at-the-backyard.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the paving slabs on the sand and cement bed from one corner to another.

With these bearers, it will be easier for you to construct a timber shed base. Alternatively, you can use concrete bearers while constructing larger sizes of timber shed bases. Concrete bearers are quite effective in supporting heavy loads in comparison to timber. Not to mention, such bearers can withstand harsh conditions and last for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total number of bearers required to construct a shed base will vary based on the shed size, so ensure that you know how many bearers your shed requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drive the bearers slightly into the gravel bed with a rubber mallet so that they are securely nested. All the bearers should be driven to the same depth to ensure you get an even base. Once you secure the bearers on the gravel bed, check whether the bearers are in line and on the same level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you can either screw or nail a wooden floor to the bearers you just installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Another little project started last week, this is the base for a new small potting shed.
