Project Overview
A strong and level foundation is essential for any garden shed, ensuring stability and long-term durability. This project involved the installation of a reinforced concrete base, providing a solid and weather-resistant platform for the shed.
Site Preparation
- The designated area was carefully measured and marked to ensure the correct dimensions for the shed.
- Any existing vegetation, debris and loose soil were cleared to create a flat, stable surface.
Ground Excavation
- The ground was excavated to the required depth, making sure there was enough space for a compact sub-base and concrete pour.
- The soil was leveled and compacted to prevent shifting over time and in the future.
Sub-Base Installation
- A layer of crushed stone was added to boost the drainage and improve ground stability.
- This was compacted to create a firm foundation before pouring the concrete.
Before and After:
Shuttering and Reinforcement
- Timber framework, known as shuttering, was contructed around the perimeter to contain the concrete and create a neat and defined border.
- Reinforcement mesh was added within the base to increase strength and prevent cracking.
Concrete Mixing and Pouring
- A high-strength concrete mix was prepared and evenly poured into the framework.
- The surface was leveled and smoothed using professional tools to achieve a flawless finish.
Curing Process
- The concrete was left to cure and harden over several days, ensuring maximum strength before the shed installation.
- Edges were cleaned up, and the surrounding area was tidied to complete the project.
The Final Result
The completed concrete base provides a sturdy, level and long-lasting foundation, ensuring the shed remains stable and secure in all weather conditions. This low-maintenance solution will protect the shed from ground movement and moisture, extending its lifespan.
