What size base do I need for a 10x8 shed?
Your shed base should be the at least a little larger as your shed. However, if you want to bolt your shed down, or if you want a sturdy, level surface around the shed for ease of access and maintenance, consider a wider, longer base.
How much concrete for a 10x8 shed base?
To work out how much concrete you’ll need, use this equation (measurements are in metres): slab depth x slab width x slab length = amount of concrete in cubic metres. Add another 10% just in case – it’s better to have too much concrete than not enough! It’s best to pour a base 100mm thick for a 10x8 or larger shed (or if you’re building on clay, or intend to store very heavy items). Follow our comprehensive guide on how to build a concrete shed base and learn how to create a stable base for your new shed.
How can I damp proof my shed?
Check the roof and walls regularly for any weather damage that could lead to water ingress. Make sure your shed is well ventilated, and apply wood treatment yearly to timber sheds to guard against damp. Installing insulation helps to maintain a steady temperature, discouraging condensation build-up. Heating and dehumidifying devices can help to keep a shed's interior dry and cosy. For more advice, read our handy guide to damp-proofing your shed.
