Are you struggling to build foundation of the shed? The first and last thing you can think of in building shed is its foundation. Making sure that it is firm and hold to the ground as it is designed is what every builder look into. Though each material for the foundation should depend on how light or how heavy the shed is made of. That is the truth about a shed foundation.
There are three known foundation that is applied to small sheds. The most common, easy to install and less expensive is called Pressure treated timber sleepers. This is applicable to shed constructed in a level phase ground. Today, this kind of foundation is seldom used because it doesn't last too long comparing to the concrete foundation.
Today, concrete foundation is widely used. It has been tested through time to be strong and firm. There are two kinds of cement foundation in building shed. This is the concrete block pier and the concrete slab.
Concrete block pier is a foundation applied in shed that is found in a sloppy area. It can compactly hold on dense soil. Some designers build their shed to level phase. Basically, they work on the grounding of the foundation to make it possible.
On the other hand, the concrete slab is a foundation which has certain components that make it more durable. It can be applied in both leveled and sloppy ground. This foundation is best used when the materials of the shed is made of hard materials such as steel or heavy by nature.
The two concrete form of shed foundation has been used for over the years and has been efficient enough. As a practice, each foundation is incorporated with a damp proof membrane. This is in order to protect both the foundation and the flooring from the moist that result from the materials to rot. Even if it is made of cement, it will deteriorate eventually.
