Hi everyone,
I recentely purchased a shed (8"x10"), I was looking to get a guy to do a concrete base, but they guy said it'll cost at least £500. I almost had a heart attack
Anyway... he gave a idea to dig out some earth and buy some sand and place the paving slabs on top.
I didn't want to push my luck with all that free recommendation.
So, I would like some help
What type of sand is better Sharp Sand or Building Sand ?? 1 ton bag is enough?
Should I mix cement with that ?? And how many bags of cement??
And how much should I dig out?? 3 inches or more??
Don't worry people!! I'm not looking to put heavy stuff inside the shed either.
Thanks.
