I am thinking over the pros and cons of concrete versus concrete slabs
on mortar.

The sub base is loose gravel over MOT type 1 thats been down 16 years.
I can use the loose gravel to make concrete with. Obviously with sand
as well


Area is 3m x 1.8m

Seems to come aout around £120 no matter which way I look - anyone got
hard info?

I've got some 2" council type paving slabs going spare but you will have
to fetch:-) (50 miles)

400 kg.

I think the freelander would just about take that.

It's probably a bit over the top, but its not a long way.

You only need them under the floor "joists" (assuming that the shed
has a timber floor), not the whole area of the shed.

I suspect that the assumption that the shed has a timber floor is the
one being corrected.

Hence it needs a base that will also double as an internal floor.
