    Not exactly, it's made from wheat.
     
  5. Just what I was thinking, sounds like a lot less faff! Or stick a pile of bricks under one end;)

  6. Get it shipped in mixed and dropped right where you need it , it`s quite a lump
    Save hours/days of slaving away and a bad back - don`t ask ...

  7. nope they want a flat concrete base, shed is supply and erect onto flat base (by a 3rd party) , its down a very narrow street and then down 2 small alleyways to get in gardemn. making my head hurt.

    It's v ery very easy to put up a pre-fab shed. Just get them to deliver and build it on a frame. :thumbsup: I'd much rather do that than mess about with concrete just to make the shed chaps job easier. :)

    For a shed there's no load surely? You hardly need any concrete... I laid mine on 9 cemented slabs to bear the weight and threw hardcore in the gaps, shed base on top and no one knows the difference. I am still deciding if I'm gonna concrete the patio or slab it, but if concrete I will get a ready mix.
     
  13. Anyone local sell recycled crushed concrete in bulk bags
    Cheap and simply mix again with cement. Not massively strong but it is only a shed
     
  14. Ah but the person wants a solid base
    ...no chance of vermin underneath ......and stops little people losing things underneath the shed!

    Customers always right!

    Make up most of the volume with breeze blocks then a few inches of concrete on top and around it.
    provided you can stop them floating ...
    Shed man will not notice.
     
  19. Mmm concrete calculations by Skype
