    I can't get over the ridiculous precision of that slab.

    Yeah but you'd agonize over it and spend a month researching it online before doing it just as precise.

    Seems almost a shame to cover the slab with OSB board, instead of spit and polish.

    these guys are up the road in Thurles so I will have a chat with them about a pice of chequer plate
    Shed in 1.9m wide and 2.96 long

    will be having 600mm wide shelving on the left side so a 2.5m by 1.25m 1.5mm would do grand.

    Why is the 1200 gauge polythene running out under the shed should it not of been turned up the walls and back around the floor batten at the door surely there'll be issues in the future with water seeping in between the Osb and polythene.

    Fair question: already answered I think further up
    1. OSB is onto of 35mm pressure treated battens as per picture
    2. there is a ventilation gap around between the battens and the shed side
    3. I sealed the shed base to the plastic with Tec 7 by loosening the rag bolts and lifting shed a tad and then dropping it down.
    4. The level base made it very easy to seal, I will trip the plastic on the outside later.
    5. Easier to do it this way rather than having the plastic, which is radon barrier, up inside

    For next slab builder, I saw a good one, where the main slab is on a plinth itself, which is about 40mm lower.. Shed sides sit down lower than slab ontoplinth.. Hence no rain run off from shed can ever run on into slab floor inside.

    You would want to know your shed dimensions and squareness exactly.

    I agree, its also two pours, and the second could be on the radon barrier.
    I did try and get the exact internal dims from them but they declined, would only give the slab size

    :)

    40mm and 50mm wavin waste, they come in 4m lengths so I got four from each length.

    will be putting heavier stuff, such as crowbar and sledge, down one side

    The crafty bugger! Only copped that with your comment!

    Who would have known it, using “loft” space in a garden shed.
