Hello all,
We have finally purchased a wooden shed. I am hoping for some advice on a base now.
The shed is 4 x 6. We are on a fairly heavy partial clay. We have patio paving slabs. There is an area at the back of plot in the region where we'd like the shed to go. It is quite compacted and has had artificial turf on it since before we took the plot. Would that be a good place to use the slabs for a base? Would we dig into it to do so?
My husband has also seen shed base kits, either plastic or another material (metal? Can't remember). I assume that is instead of slabs. They seem to have little legs that are pressed into the ground and a base that sits on the surface that would support the shed. Any experience with those?
Basically I'm looking for thoughts or experience please!
