To help you, we have prepared a few foundation proposals to make it easier for you to decide how best to erect your Biohort Garden Shed. 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. Foundation tips for Garden Sheds
Proposal 1: Installation with Biohort Floor Frame
The Floor Frame can then be filled out with paving slabs or wooden beams. >>more
Proposal 2: Concrete Paving Slabs in a sand-bed
An effective and economical solution can be achieved by using paving slabs laid in a sand-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 sand 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 optimum but also the most expensive solution.
Even with this option, preventive measures 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 proposals 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
