How To Build A Concrete Base For Your Shed/Garden Room

[@michaellupton1593]

Watched a few of your videos. Got to say you explain things in a very professional manner which is easy to understand and follow. By far the best videos on the topics covered that I have seen . Brilliant stuff lads.

i'm building a 11x6M squared concrete base for my outdoor gym next week. I've never EVER done anything like this in my life. But this video fills me with confidence... how hard can it be!?! 🤣

[@Kasim_Mahmood]

This is an amazing piece of work guys. You guys make it easy to understand for any novice beginner. Thanks

I'm finding a lot of inspiration from your videos, I recently moved late last year and I have big plans in place. It's daunting honestly. It all stems from the elevation decreasing about 5feet over the 7.5mlong 4.5w garden with a path down the middle with parking spaces for the previous owner. I have left a small space at the end for my car, then a fence just above the concrete road outside. Then inside I'm planning a sunken garden space with a retaining wall surrounding my neighbors side and towards my house, I'm integrating the use of (dead heads) T shape inside the wall to support, this will allow the space for some integrated planter areas, but behind this I need make a French drain to take the water away. On the path side as the path supported itself on a solid hardcore base I'm planning on having a small gap filled with stones for good drainage, then oak railway sleepers supported by some oak posts concreted in this will give a good boarder to the garden area. All the steps involved in this would take me Soo long to write down. I will still probably forget something obvious anyway 😂 This video in particular will help with my plans on the other side for my workshop- seating area but that's a while away maybe not even this year 😂

That was the most informative video on this subject I've found. A lot miss out the details that you guys didn't. Thank you.

Do you have a video for a floating floor shed base?

[@RAHMANVLOG13]

Tutorial yang sangat bagus bermanfaat

[@MarcJWebbMusic]

Guys. Sick video. Only thing I really wish you covered more about is the laser level. Is there any chance at all you could do an essential tools you use video and include the laser and receiver and how you use them :) keep the dope vids coming

The choke symbol is a valve ;) Love your vids :)

[@Clt2936]

Very informative!! How long after you have to wait drying before you built new insulation panel garden room on it? I just ordered the Grande room after watching you video

[@Pro2BeAcademy]

I had just one question. After removing the shuttering, do you trim the DPM or what happens to it?

[@homeimprovements]

trim flush to top 😊

[@Hatsan50]

Great video, would you bother with the dpm if the pad was just for sitting metal containers on or just hard standing?

[@sebd7446]

Hello guys, great video! Just one question, do you keep your MOT type one flat or do you need a small slope to let the water run off?

[@mitchjeff1139]

How long do you normally have to wait to remove wooden shuttering and what to you do with the excess dpm once dried can you just cut it off? Sorry trying to do it in my garden 👍

[@kennethverhoeven3972]

how high should you cut the plastic at the end, and do you need to glue it or something so no water gets inbetween?

Hi guys about to build a garden room with a concrete base . Do I need to add the raised steel in my base or is it something I can get away with . Thanks 👍🏻

[@rossyb313]

Do you need to angle the concrete a few degrees with a slight run off to allow for water to drain?

[@homeimprovements]

Not for this as it’s going to have a building on top 😊

[@justlookingaround9834]

I’d love to know where I can get a 4.5 m straight timber to screed/tamp.

[@neilwatcham8932]

What's that pad for??? Bit over engined unless your landing a jumbo jet on it.... also why don't u just and fiber to the mix???

[@jonhickmanmusic]

If it was for a garden room, what would you say in more appropriate? Thanks

[@neilwatcham8932]

@jonhickmanmusic still put fibre in it, steel reinforcement is more money, more work, more chance of popping when it rusts, (because it will).. looks good but fibre is better in that project.. as for a garden room. Yeah it's a garden room, not a nuclear bunker lol... seems like a lot of expence for a garden room....

[@jonhickmanmusic]

@@neilwatcham8932 would you say a garden room pad needs sub base etc?

[@neilwatcham8932]

@jonhickmanmusic yes, still needs to be dug out. 100mm crushed hardcore, and 100mm od fibre reinforced concrete is fine... doesn't need plastic, lasers, lots of expensive timber for edge. Anything to hold the concrete in place...

A bit bigger, connect utilities, you've got a house.

Hi guys what’s the model of the laser you used please

In my opinion everything is wrong you need more experience, as chance you can do for me for free 3x4.5 base, just to get better. I am doing you favor, but you don't need to thanks. Every step pocket in one video, just watch and follow one to one these guys, and it can't be f... Thanks!

Do you really that many mesh men? Surely once the weight of metal is held up any more is over kill
