Right, Steve and i need a bigger shed as we seem to accumulate so much stuff!

Have an area for it which could accommodate approx 12' x 6'ish shed
The problem we have is that our garden is on an incline so not a simple go and buy the shed and stick it in the garden.

Any one know of someone who does the whole scherbang, i.e. lay the foundations, base and then build the shed? If yes a name and number would be helpful.

Cheers

There is a normal (small) shed on a hardstanding and then a drop of about 2' in total meaning that 1/2 the new shed would not be suported as it is

We are going to have to put in foundations etc.

depending how bad the slope is you should be able to lay it straight onto paving slabs

Have a word with Bubs , Im sure he will be able to help you out with the Base etc


Helped do ours for the hot tub

Then either purchase a shed , Will be cheaper for you imho , If the Shed sales place do not do an Erection service Im sure with a bit of help we could all get it put up for you

Or have a look through the Occupations thread lot of chippies in there

Chippy reporting

As Tiny says, works out much cheaper to buy from shed company than to get custom built by the likes of me. Rainham sheds on the A13 are cheap and deliver/erect for free, you just have to put level base in.
But if you do need assistance give me a shout, be glad to help out.

Good point, Maybe I should have said "Firm Level Base". My 10x8 shed has 2 tons of concrete under it. Didn't want it going anywhere

Hello people,

Thanks for all the comments

Will be speaking to Bubs at next meet. And am going to try to find Rainham sheds.

BRI4N, have you got a postcode or directions a bit more in depth than on the A13 for Rainham sheds?

Thansk again,

Vicki

Vicki, go down the old A13 (now A1306) towards Rainham from Lakeside. Go past Willow Farm on your right, keep going through some traffic lights, and you end up at a roundabout called 'Dovers Corner'

Rainham sheds is in the industrial estate you will see approaching the roundabout at about the '11 o/clock' position, but on the further side of the roundabout. (if that makes sense

Rainham Sheds Concorde Works Rainham RM13 8RS Tel: (01708 557819)

Hope this helps

I've just built one with my dad, garden is going through a fare bit of change this summer and thought I'd start with storage

Our garden is on a slight incline aswell (maybe not as bad as yours) - we reinforced the base with 3 (6x2) treated planks - Back, middle and front 90deg to the original floor reinforcement.

The back and middle are resting directly onto the mud (dug the rear down slightly) and the front has 2 bricks reccessed into the ground by about 1 inch. It's not a massive shed though so the length it spans over the incline is only 1600mm! We over engineered it so feels a lot more sturdy than a bought one! Probably spent about £80 on materials (not the biggest shed) but did take 2 weekends doing it.

Problem is having the time, the tools and inclination to do it. We had to make one as I had to fill an awkward corner where it narrowed down at the back.

I'm not a builder so would go with any professional advice, over mine. (Just wanted to show off my handywork )

Construction (not a catalogue pose - I'm holding it together)

PMSL at the tools all hanging up neatly, bet they don't stay that way Mine didn't. Shed looks mighty fine, well done.

Thanks for passing on the more concise directions Andy, Sorry Vicki, I'm so crap
