I would post a picture of my shed. But it has concrete walls and corrugated roof. But its not a garage as its only big enough for a couple of bikes.

Could this be classed as a shelter a la Anderson?

Why don't you post it anyway :D

I shall do. Its rather sparse with bikes at the moment. Mine being the only complete one.
 
I have just put the base in for the new man cave 5.5 meters long buy 3 meters long all going to be built with reclaim wood from work :D
 
That's a good size about 18x10 in old money? I put down base frame with sand over concrete (all over the place for level) and then honeycombe type recycle plastic square thingies filled with pea shingle. Must say very quick and light work rather than slabs etc as have a dodgy back.

That's a fair amount of concrete. Mixer or ready mix? Thought about it but liked the cellular idea. Same as this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ECO-PAVER-SHE ... %26ps%3D54


That seems expensive, build my base on a concrete footing with concrete blocks / 3x3 posts bearers for the base frame. Will post some pics of my build when I get home..

Issue for me was lifting slabs/blocks/cement etc. Shed at end of garden, down steps from house and approx 120ft from delivery point for materials. Meant all I needed was a wheelbarrow and a shovel. Worked out at roughly same cost as laying a slab base and drains better. And I did it with Mrs HM in an afternoon once the ground was cleared.

She's a strong one! :lol:

They do look like less work :) i guess im a tight ass :mrgreen:

I was sceptical about them until they were down and filled with gravel. Very light and easy to work with. You cut then with a fine bladed saw. Apparently can be used for path/driveway. Because they all link and gravel is held in each little pocket very solid.
(And no i'm not a rep!)
