That much??
Well - if you want him to stick it together like flat pack furniture and leave it on your lawn then its expensive. If however you want the ground levelled, a base layer put down, then some slabs on which your shed will be built, its going to take a few hours work. |

Whenever I have done sheds I have always used concrete blocks and load bearing timbers. Concrete blocks spaced about 2' apart and load bearers on top of that. Bit of polythene betwen the concrete and the timber and bo sherunkle. The main advantage is that air is allowed to circulate under the floor and stop the formation of rot/mould. There's a shed at my mums that was done this way and it's been stood for 45+ years. She bought it scondhand and it was apparently a good 20 years old then.. shokk |
