Foundation tips for Garden Shed AvantGarde
To ease your decision in how best to erect your Biohort Garden Shed, we have prepared a few proposals to help you make a decision and assist you in your final arrangements.
Proposal 1: Installation with Biohort Floor Frame
The simplest solution is to install your Garden Shed directly on to a Biohort Floor Frame (without any extra foundations) and secure this with the storm anchors provided.
The Floor Frame can then be filled out with paving slabs or wooden beams. >>more
Proposal 2: Concrete paving slabs in a shingle-bed
An effective and economical solution can be achieved by using paving slabs laid in a shingle-bed.
These paving slabs are available in a variety of colours and finishes from almost every Home worker- and DIY mart. Even when the paving slabs are firmly and evenly stamped down in the shingle we would still recommend the use of a Biohort Floor Frame to ensure stability. >>more
Proposal 3: Reinforced concrete foundation
A reinforced concrete foundation in a gravel bed is without doubt the optimal but most expensive solution.
Even with this variant, constructive steps must be taken to ensure that no water leaks through into the shed.
A shouldered foundation with a step of 2 cm x 7 cm running around the circumference is the most ideal of all the variations proposed here. >>more
Proposal 4: Point Foundation
Another useful alternative to assure the level and storm-proof erection of the Garden Shed on uneven and yielding ground is to combine the Biohort Floor Frame with a point foundation.
The foundation points should be positioned at each of the four corners of the shed and have a minimum size of 30 x 30 cm. The excavation should be of an adequate depth to ensure protection against frost. >>more
