air gun ant 1,666 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 has anybody used those interlocking plastic base jobbies that you fill with gravel? got an 18' x 9' shed to put up at the new house house and been advised to use these as a base, I cant pour a concrete base as its a rented house. also wheres the best place to get them? cheers ant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Easiest way would be to clear any turf and just lay a few inches of clean stone down into a wooden frame on top of some landscaping fabric. Perfect, better drainage than a concrete base.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I just use slabs, lift them and re-seed the grass when if you leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 its going on to compacted gravel/mot anyway so just wanting to rais it of the ground to stop rot? you can probably imagine a 18' x 9' shed wasn't cheap lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 If it's on gravel already I'd just put it down on treated batons.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terrier15 52 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Would some old pallets pinned together do the job? Especially if your not planning on being there ages... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabid 1,936 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 As above, I wouldn't waste money on anything other than a few decent size timbers or blocks to get it up off the floor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jax13 251 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 You'll get concrete block for a quid each at the builders merchant. Lay them flat rather than verticality if your not cementing them in place. It'll lift it enough to get a bit of air flow and be nice and stable 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
