who knows? maybe yes, mayne no, but at least you'll have saved the cost of breaking up the old concrete and laying new.

Hi Lee, The costings are in the description: Costs for this shed (July 2024): 20 x 10 reverse apex shed in ex19mm cladding - £2,937.00 (ex16mm cladding would be £2,513.00) 2 additional doors - £110.00 Treated with Barrettines Wood Protective Treatment - £125.00 Prices include: Local delivery, Glazing, Felting. Installation is free of charge at the time of delivery providing there is good access and a suitable base

The rails and stiles are 45mm x 95mm joinery pine, the panelling is 12mm T.G.V.

The legs aren't just screwed, they are also glued. They go right up, tight to the underneath of the flooring. There's nothing wrong with notching a 4x4 post to accept the 4x2, but I don't think theres any real benefit. Thanks for watching.

@@GorillaSheds ty.

The frame is held together with 8mm x 130mm Hecofix framing screws, the plywood sheathing is bridging the join, the body of the shed is on the plywood sheathing. Please explain how that would be a problem, and your qualification for making that statement?

A lot of firms do that, but unless the slabs are bedded properly then they'll shift. It used to be commonplace that sheds would have a good,. stiff floor frame that helped prevent the shed from settling unevenly and help withstand any movement in the slabs. The slabs would provide airspace under the shed and help prevent rotting and give good airflow under the shed. That method is still widely adhered to in the USA Then, to save money, manufacturers (including us) went over to using ventilated floors with the floor joists running the opposing direction to the floor boards. This style of floor demands a solid base, either concrete or well bedded slabs. The problem is that the shed will sit directly onto the concrete which, when it rains, will allow the rainwater to flow under the shed and rot the floor timbers. The groundscrew system gives the same benefits as the old way of doing this: keeping the timbers off the floor and promoting airflow. They also have the benefit of going down into the subsoil which makes them incredibly stable, and being able to easily cope with sloping ground. Plus they're quick! Plus, they are clean to install and instantly loadable as well, so no waiting for concrete to dry. The biggest benefit on sloped ground is that they work out massively cheaper than having a concrete base laid that is 100mm thick one end and 1m thick the other end!

Hi, we'll go anywhere! Delivery is free of charge in South Essex, outside of that we charge for delivery. The costs are calculated by postcode

Will keep you in mind plan to have this installed at my cottage in Lydd when I retire in 2027

If it's in South Essex then delivery is free, outside of that area it's calculated according to the postcode 12 x 10 Pent shed: In ex16mm cladding - £1,688.00 In ex19mm Cladding - £1,973.00 Optional Double doors - £55.00 Optional treatment with Barrettines Wood Protective Treatment - £104.00 12 @ 1200mm groundscrew base with 4x2 pressure treated floor frame - £1,165.00 Prices include V.A.T @ 20% Prices correct as at January 2024

They absolutely are! We check the British Geological Survey database for the area the shed is to go and use an appropriate length groundscrew for the area we're going to be working in. If we need to use a longer groundscrew than standard, we will. We've conducted pull tests on groundscrews that have been put into the ground to a depth of 700mm. In the south of the U.K. where we typically work, the frost depth is 200 mm, as is the depth of topsoil. The subsoil is typically clay or loam, but in some areas it can be chalk which is even better! We're working with around 500mm of the groundscrew going into the subsoil. At that depth, each groundscrew will typically take around 500kg in weight in clay soil (that being the predominant type) but even if each one was to take only 200kg, and using a maximum spacing of 1.2m between groundscrews, that would give a load of around 555kg per square meter. There's not many sheds that need a load bearing ability that high. On this job we used 20 groundscrews. across the front the spacing was approx. 1.2m on centre, front to back they were 0.75m on centre. Using 200kg per groundscrew as a guideline minimum, that would give an overall estimated minimum load of 4,000kg If required, we can perform pull tests to ascertain the load bearing capabilities of the soil in any area for the size of groundscrew tested. We can install groundscrews from 800mm x 68mm right up to 2.0m x 76mm - those bigger ones can take over 6 tonnes each!

@@GorillaSheds wow. Thanks for a comprehensive reply. I've never seen these before but they look game changing

Does it come with a robot mower to cut the grass underneath?

@@hoog111 Yes, we can provide that too, we'll add it to the invoice! On the other hand, once the client has closed the floor in there won't be enough light under there for the grass to grow, it'll just die off. We can close the base in if you prefer, as we did with the shed on the hill.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHLZe4aLaqiqirMsi=F2z0owPJQnUT5hhR

The maximum height allowed under the permitted development rules is 2.5m from the highest ground level adjacent to the building. This building complies with that requirement .... just!

Good looking shed and good to see you included the price of that build too because so many companies don’t 👍😀

@@dord1954 The way we word it, just to cover ourselves, is that we install the sheds free of charge at the time of delivery providing that there is good access and a suitable base. The reason we put it like that is because we arrive at the clients address fully equipped and prepared to install the sheds. If we can't get the shed into the garden, or if the base just isn't suitable, then we can't put the shed up. If that happens, we don't offer a discount as we still have to pay our installation team for their day of work regardles of whether they just deliver the shed or whether they deliver and install it. In the last 5 years I don't think we have left any customer high and dry. Every shed we have delivered has been erected, even if we have had to make a return visit (at additional cost to the client) to complete the installation.

Great job and excellent price

Looks over 15sqm and closer than 1m to fence so how do you deal with building control requirement for substantially non-combustible materials?

That’s fantastic work, I have you guys in mind in 3 years when I retire for a summer house and shed at bottom of my garden in Lydd

Hi Michael, if you can email us your postcode then I can take a look at the geology for your area. I very much doubt that 2 @ 20' skids would provide the necessary support for the floor of a shed this size, although you may have a cunning plan that would achieve that! If you envisage using the same size floor frame that has been used in this video (4x2 treated) then the maximum distance between load points is a smidge over 1.5m (59") but we would advise that you keep it to 1.2m (47") or thereabouts. With 2 @ 20' skids you would need the floor to comprise of 2 stringers at 20' long, which would be used to tie together 16 10'floor joists spaced at 16" on centre. These could be cantilevered over the 2 skids, but even with the two skids being placed at the maximum of 59", it would still leave 30" cantilevered each side of the skids. Whilst that would probably do the job, it would be considered excessive. If the same floor design were to be placed on 3 @ 20' skids, the floor could be supported at 47" centres with 1' of cantilevered timber each side. A much more stable design..

Hey! Thank you for the thorough response, I'm located in Minnesota with very poor draining soil conditions. It seems like the 20' skid route will not work, especially since I just got approval to make the shed 2 stories tall, so there will be a larger weight than the design above. My other idea was to use deck blocks (4 on each long side, and one each short side, none in the middle since I won't be able to adjust the height of those if they sink) along the perimeter, and have 16 2x8x10 joists with 2 double (sister'd?) 2x8x20 boards on each edge. This method is also cheaper than buying the 3 20' skids, and I would dig a foot below each block and place compacted rocks under. Would that work?@@GorillaSheds

Hi Michael, What you're proposing is far outside of the extent of my knowledge. We are in the U.K. so our building codes etc. are irrelevant to you. My best advice would be to seek the advice of someone local, probably a surveyor or builder

Thank you! As an option, the top panel of the doors could be Georgian as well so they match the windows

Thank you! If you're thinking of bolting the hinges for the sake of security, we could fit the shed with continuous hinges instead so that all the screws are concealed. Continuous hinges run the full height of the door from bottom to top, They are probably the securest hinge for any shed. However, they won't stop a determined thief, if they want to get in then they will.

Offer up the leg so the bottom of it is square with the floor, mark it at the angle that its sitting at. Cut it, then turn it up the other way. The leg will sit perfectly plumb.

Wood + lightning = burny burny. Thats life. Plus, its what insurance is for.

We can help ...

Thanks 🔥

If one is not strong enough, use 2 or 10 as many as you think it needs for each leg, screws are cheap.

We use a slightly foaming P.U. glue as well as screws to attach the legs. When the plywood floor covering goes over the frame, the tops of the legs are hard up against the plywood. We've been using this method for over 30 years and have never had a client come back to us to tell us that the joint has failed.

It's a great work shed. We don't fit security screws as standard but that can be done. Alternatively we could use the same continuous hinges as we use on the Tuck-Shop shed.

Hi Ashley, I can't answer that as I don't know how much room you need around the table. However, we make all of our sheds from scratch so if you can let us know the size you would need we can work you a quote.

Hi Anju ..... I'm glad you're pleased with our work, it would be great if you could leave us a google review as well! g.page/r/CXHydeRvdqtQEAI/review

Do you a payment plan?

Shims are perfectly acceptable for packing. The method shown in the video is the one we normally use as it's fast and cost effective. We can also use plastic adjustable feet which are excellent as they ensure none of the timber is in ground contact, it lengthens the life of the floor frame. The only downside to the feet is the cost, other than that they are an excellent solution.

@@GorillaSheds do you recommend a certain product for the plastic adjustable feet? I've been looking at Eurotec's solution.

For that exact shed with the extras the cost would be around £5,800 (December 2021 price)

Hi Dean, We're based in South Essex. If you send your request to [email protected] we will send a quote back to you. We don't put prices on KZbin as they go out of date, some people expect the same price 3 years later!

Hi Mike, you sound like a great, fun guy to be around. Are you available for parties, weddings and bar mitzvars?

A shed will always rot from the floor upwards as when it rains, the rainwater sits against the timber. When wood is under pressure it takes on water a lot easier so the floor timbers rot first. By using the ecobase it doesn't just create a damp barrier but also lifts the floor off of the base and promotes airflow around the floor joists. It prolongs the life of the shed. If the ecobase is being laid directly onto soil then you're right, there should be a semi-permeable membrane (definitely NOT plastic sheet) under it and the tiles should be filled with gravel. We also advise that when an ecotile base is used you should also put down a sturdy floor frame to tie it all together properly.
