Hi . I've a 12x8 shed on a 6 inch slab of concrete and I'd like to replace it for something a little bigger. Made the mistake of putting down a level pad so water lays by the floor battens and it's already rotting the base after only 3 years.
So I need to raise it up and make sure the timber is clear . I could run a couple of rows of bricks round and 're erect it on those after fitting new floor timbers but the pad allows a 12 x10 at least so wondering if I can rebuild and go say 18 inches brick base and timber frame on top or whether i need to break up the base and dig footing etc then build up to base height, concrete put bricks down. I guess it's all down to weight but would be nice if I could build straight onto the pad. I should say the 6 inch concrete isint 're enforced and is on about 6 inches of rubble and compacted hogging. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
