Shed Base

[Jam The Man]

Looking at getting an 18ft x10 ft shed later in the year, but will need to put in a (probably concrete) shed base first. Any advice on what sort of price ballpark i should be getting quoted?
The garden is relatively flat

Cheers all!

18ft x 10ft, now that is what I call a shed, I have now been struck down by envy.

Expect to pay around £500 for a concreate base that size

If your garden is reasonably flat could you not lay slabs into sand to place it on.

Have a word with [MENTION=15348]CAPTAIN GREALISH[/MENTION] , he has done a fair amount of building work at Chez Jim. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

I put a man cave in our garden last summer and used vintage sleepers and joists. It's worked a treat a I also insulated with a layer of celotex. Wenban Smith had 2600 sleepers, when coupled with a sleeper on each end will accommodate a 10ft deep shed

Thanks all. Have also been recommended to use Ecobase and pea shingle

I have just used an eco base........They gobble up the pea shingle and it is not as easy to keep level as you would imagine. If I had to do it again I would put down a concrete base, my shed is only 8 x 6 though.

It's really easy to do yourself
Don't pay anyone to do it. A job for a sleepy weekend.

its not necessary to use the shingle though is it?

im facing this issue and the ecobase looks very good to me, because i really dont think i've the time for digging to get level and laying slabs or concrete, where as leveling, bit of sand to make the ecobase sit snug sounds like a weekend job.
