Garden shed on lawn
Well, here in TX last week we have a servere rain storm and over a
thousand trees were torn out of the ground. Anything can up and go. We have a wood construction shed, not plastic or vinyl and we put it in a protected part of the yard as close to the fence the code would allow. It should be okay On 23 Oct 2006 06:51:16 -0700, "JB" wrote: OK, that sounds good to me. Looking at one on the B&Q website it says the base should be 300mm wider than the dimensions specified. Anyway, this maybe another stupid question, but it can get fairly windy here (not hurricane standards), but I take it there is no fear of these things blowing over???? Thanks.

What I want to know is can I just place this directly on the lawn (the lawn is flat), or do I need foundations of some kind? I live in the North East of Engalnd if this is applicable. Yes, you really should use a foundation. It doesn't have to be concrete. Our 8x12 shed is placed on top of a simple wood construted foundation. Thanks, for the info. Not wanting to sound TOO stupid, but I would really like specifics about the wooden frame. For example for your 8'x12' case, do I just need two 8'x2"x2" and two 12'x2"x2" bits of wood, nail them up into a square and then that's it, or would I require something more elaborate? Thanks again. How about three 4x8 foot sheets of 3/4" thick plywood, laid over a frame made of treated 2x4" wood? You might need to trim an inch or three off the plywood, unless the internal floor size really is 8'x12'. |
