    I got an approximately 16 sq meter garage built couple of years ago, and now it's full of kids bikes, scooters, garden tools, this that and everything else, and yeah pedal bike on a trainer bang in the middle as well. My motorbike is back outside in the rain once again. :/

    To be avenged as part of spring cleaning this year.

    This is basically what I ordered from Shanette Sheds

    476452.jpg

    Its 20’ x 15’ and exactly the same as the pictures except mine will have horizontal lapping. It's going to be started in the next few weeks so I'll put up some progress pics.

    How much bud? And are you doing the base yourself?

    No, I'm getting someone to do that and the electrical. It'll be about 10 grand all in. Well that's what I'm hoping :)

    Can anyone recommend a contractor to do a concrete base ? I'm not having much luck with the suggested one from the shed company.

    Theshedcompany over at Johnstown Garden centre offer that service, maybe worth giving them a call

    Consider a landscaper gardener . Patios etc . Get quotes from a few for the base and make sure to understand what depths the price has on it.

    This is bread and butter stuff for them

    They only do the bases for their own sheds.

    Whatever you do, make sure there's a proper damp-proof course in the concrete

    Life ain't always empty.

    The work finally started yesterday on the base.

    478567.jpg

    Its re-enforced with re-bar mesh so it'll ne nice and solid. I also learned that my garden has a slope in it I wasn't aware of.

    Is that all the garden you have left? Unless we're missing some in the picture, that would probably need planning.

    Not for a 25 sqm shed and it only takes up about a 3rd of the garden at the most.
