Default Base for garden shed?

Just ignore him like the rest of us do. Our new "war president" seems to
have unnerved him.

I would recommend a bolt set in concrete at the four corners of tour
shed. Drill holes. Add a couple of washers (including a lock washer),
screw down nut to set.

Sorry, but I haven't really been following this thread but obviously you
need something of heft to secure your structure.

small shed and how to best set it up. Not exactly rocket science the person
just wanted different ways of doing this. I hope this last person wasn't a
regular poster on here or I will go back to just lurking and picking out the
good stuff.

I have just ordered a 5ft x 3 ft pent shed with door on the longer side,
for my allotment.

But how to prepare base? I thinking of just whacking down a few
runners?

Looked at loads of articles on google including :

http://www.secrets-of-shed-building....oundation.html

But maybe , this is all overkill ?

What do people with real practical experience think is best way to go?

You leave the reader wondering what the shsd base is made of, at the very
least. Further, you are simply expanding on that by asking a question
that
may not have bearing if one had some limited knowledge of the shed and
soil
and elevation it will set on itself. If you can't ask a specific queston
with specific information to base an answer on, butt out.

Just because your wife is playing up is no reason to direct so much
negativity towards a stranger on usenet.

btw, what is your bed base made of?
