Preparation for a New Garden Shed
by

We had Demolished our old wooden garden shed and wanted to erect a new metal one but before we could start that job we had to do all the preparation.
Starting with Creating a new concrete base.
But even that needed preparation.
First all of the wood etc. from the old shed had to be cleared away and the measurements made for the base.

But even that needed preparation.
First all of the wood etc. from the old shed had to be cleared away and the measurements made for the base.
Wood had to be bought, cut and put together to make a frame to pour the concrete into. My husband wanted to make sure that the base was the right size & shape for this larger shed.
Then it was ready to pour the concrete but he got someone to help with that part.
The levelling and smoothing out was very important
Before and After was so very different
Yes we had electric and water connected in the old shed and so care had to be taken with these when laying the concrete base.
Enjoyed the project?

Lisa on Sep 13, 2015Perfect timing on posting this - we're getting ready to put up a new shed just for our garden implements/tools and the grand kids' smaller outdoor toys. We are still talking about location and what we'll be using for a base. We got a good deal on a Rubbermaid type shed. I would have preferred wood, but need to save pennies where I can. I'm headed over to your blog now, but was curious as to why you chose metal for the new shed.
