Last week i had the opportunity to help a friend build the foundation for a new shed that will be delivered in a couple of weeks. his back yard has a bit of a slope, and it would take too much concrete to pour a slab (read how to pour a concrete shed foundation here).. You now have a level concrete block foundation on which to build your shed. sloped site. there are two ways to build a foundation for a sloped site. 1. dig into the slope to make a level base for your shed. you may need to build a retaining wall to keep the soil from falling in on your shed over time.. Erecting a shed on a slope is not safe, particularly if it's steep. however, you can dig out a level area large enough to accommodate a shed. if you build the foundations properly, the shed will be perfectly stable..
A concrete shed base is the strongest type of shed foundation. it is at the heavier end of the work you will do to build your shed. this article will help you to decide if you really need such a heavy duty solution or if something a bit lighter and simpler to install would work just as well.. The best way for you to put in your base is to build a small wall. then back fill it with type one or rubble if you have any about the garden. as for the finish you would be better with concrete as it's a solid base. but if you wish you could do it with slabs it will be a bit cheaper this way. hope this helps you. best regards david mccaig.
