Sealing base of steel shed, Help

ntgar

Hello everyone,

Just built a steel shed on a concrete pad and I have some rain passing in between the steel sides and the concrete base especially when it's windy.

Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you rectify it.
Ideally I would like to use a sealant ,

But any tips advice or help would be very appreciated.

Raise the height of the floor inside with quick drying cement. That's what I did and no leaks since.

Thank you for the reply, I had thought that but was afraid if water got under it and in the winter it freezes in time it will just cracking and break up, but I'll keep it in mind thanks

Put down a DPC under the raised floor to keep water and damp out. Mine is down a few years now and no issue with cracking or water getting in.

Yeah I think you've sold the idea to me, thanks for the help

As it's going to be a floated screed put in 65-75 mm otherwise it will breakdown
