Thankyou for the kind words Peter, we sell buildings over at www.gardenbuildinguk.co.uk So be sure to let us find the perfect space for you. We can deliver in 4-6 weeks and do bases too.

@@allthingsgardenbuildings oh do u come and fit

@@Techandgadgetreviews11 Yes we do!

@@allthingsgardenbuildings yes can u build one for us

@@Techandgadgetreviews11 We would love to ! Sales@gardenbuildinguk.co.uk Drop us an email !

Thankyou very much 😊

Ohh this one’s easy! Treated bearers around the perimeter of the building and just left as concrete inside. Once you’re ready to sell the property just give us a shout and we will come and put a floor in and raise the garage doors 🚪 Thanks for the kind words, let us know if you’re ready to purchase a building !

It's something I'd do now for sure. Just a layer of DPM flat to the underside even. You could go as far as making the base a few mm shorter on all sides so that water can run off.

​@allthingsgardenbuildings Sorry what do you mean by making it smaller?

Thankyou Nick!

It is not, but designs are very similar here in the UK! Hope the build went okay!

This is exactly what has happened to ours and i am heartbroken, i don't know how to fix it

DPC on treated bearers with an air gap would make low cost sense for longevity.

It would be fine if the slab was the exact size then the rain won’t run on to it

This is a major fault in these builds. We inherited a large cabin when we bought a house and have discovered water has been entering in between the wall and floor plate as there is no tongue and groove at that part of the structure. In the place it’s most needed! Needless to say there is a lot of rot. A totally insane design and I’m not sure what the solution is.

Bitumen over the floor plate and mastic the join between slab and timber then cover with Self adhesive flashing over the batten and on to the cladding. It’s works. I had a similar issue. Leaks no more

They should have unless they have a dpm under the slab

There was a DPM under the slab, that's the same on all of our builds .

Thanks Paul!

Thanks Mark !

I bet it’s warmer! If it’s a big project, get in touch!

Hiya, You'd use 50mm compacted type 1 as a sub-base and then 100mm of concrete . You could ask that plastic fibres are added into the mix if you're having a volumetric wagon bringing the concrete. Otherwise, A131 Steel reinforcement mesh is what we use. This works perfectly with 6x2 inch timbers. Hope this helps.

We usually leave a gap of around 10-15mm on the last floorboard. Whatever the skirting board will let us leave in primarily. On the roof boards we just don’t have them super tight. If you don’t roofboard right to the edge of roof purlins your fascia board won’t sit square as it needs purchase.

@@allthingsgardenbuildings Okay, thanks for clarifying. 🤙

@@owenb1t5014 No problem Owen 👍

They aren't no, but this option is available

Not necessary weight wise, but a concrete anchor would work, or just screws and brown 6mm plugs.

@@allthingsgardenbuildings Cheers!!

My thoughts exactly. 😮

It's a flaw in the design. The bearers and insulation should not be sitting on the concrete pad as they'll just soak up water and, over time, the bearers will rot. Plus it will destroy the insulation. I would place sheets of waterproof scaffolding plastic across the entire pad, and place the bearers and insulation on top. That would prevent the bearers and insulation sheets soaking up water. It needs gutters also. Without them, the amount of water that will flow off that roof and splash up on the bottom timbers will make a real mess and will cause water to run under the structure from the rear. I can't understand how someone would go to the expense of building a structure like this and not do it adequately.

Hi Kevin, Yes! We always screw the building down to the bearers, not often do we fix to the concrete , as the weight of the building stops it going anywhere , hope this helps 👍 -Jordan

@@allthingsgardenbuildings many thanks

About 1.5 ton-2 ton and concrete should be 100mm thick with a 50mm sub base of type 1 Mot

Legend! Thanks for the kind comment

That's it mate 👍

Don’t get them in the Uk, I’m sure some extra preventative measures would need to be taken

Glad you enjoyed it

If its under 30sqm and a metre away from the boundary no
