shed base problem

rob316

Hi. Not so much a problem just wondering whats the quickest solution.
I have a small concrete back garden. So I bought a 6 x4 yardmaster shed and planned to lay it directly on the concrete in the garden but as I found out today after building the shed, the section of the yard I want to put the shed on isnt level. Is there another solution to making a new concrete base?

cheers

Bed down 9 x 4" solid blocks on mortar , obviouly making sure they are level

looksee

I don't think it would be a good idea to have the shed directly on the concrete anyway, there needs to be air circulating to keep the timber sound. Lay out a pattern of a dozen blocks, flat down and put the shed on that (adjust with cement as the previous poster said)

thanks for the replies. Im just gunna lay some concrete its the cheapest way id say. How high of base would I have to lay bearing in mind its going on top of concrete already so would a inch or 2 suffice?

Like its been said above, put it down on a dozen blocks. It'll let the air circulate around underneath. When you put in some mortar with it you can level it out

Its a steel shed not timber. Ive already bought some sand,gravel and cement so im just going to go with that. Cheers for the replies.

actually one question for a small shed like im talking about does the new concrete have to bond to the old concrete or is it not necessary for such a small structure. If it does have to bond can anyone recommend a bonding agent?

Take a grinder with a diamond disk to the concrete and key it up to help it get some grip to bond
