Concrete shed base

[Aybuann]

Bro u got the whacker plate for sand but not some steel?

[Outbackjack]

Such a small size doesn't require mesh 🤦‍♂️

[BoomsRiddico]

YEP! with UK frost and wet that base is definitely cracking and slumping without rebar!

[jibster]

How much did this cost you to do yourself?

[HN-fhdi]

Love this, my huge yard is on a slope I’d need a pro to do mine.

[R_J]

For the love of God, how much water did you add to the mix?

Shoudda used mesh or rebar. You’ll find out why.

[mkLexus]

Why didn’t you add rebar into the concrete base?

[Amir-foz]

Put galvanised sheet mesh into the concrete to add strength

[b-rare]

Never do this lol . I’ve never seen someone put a filtercloth down before installing cement. Also you did no gravel base for drainage

[adamdill]

All that work just to let screen side left bow out congrats you played yourself

[marissaromeroo]

How many bags of concrete did it take?

[BoomsRiddico]

What is the point of that DPM when you cut it off at the sides and don't lip it up into the shed!!! btw the shed won't need damp proofing at the base unless you are building a proper insulated building that will withstand years of use. obviously u don't quite understand the process. sorry to be harsh here

[mikelopez]

You forgot the mesh you don’t even need sand or that stuff… lay mesh down and fill concrete

[GIBBO]

No stone base & no steel in the concrete?? 😂

[SuperVitz]

That's certainly one way of doing that!

[peterwalker]

The Romans never used reinforcement in there concrete

[chrismalings]

Too wet, powdery top surface will need grinding and treating
