If you want to get the best out of your garden shed, usage and life, then you will need a good base.
The best types of bases are the following:
- Concrete
- Paving slabs
- Gravel
- Plastic shed bases
You should always use wooden bearers below your shed to allow ventilation. This will help stop your shed from rotting quickly and prevents the floor coming into contact with water.
An example of a bearer would be a class 4 treated post, either 75x75mm or 100x100mm,
