All of our buildings require a concrete base as a foundation.
The base must be flat, square and level. Ideally, the base should be slightly higher than the surrounding area, so water cannot settle at the bottom of the garage wall panels.
The concrete base itself should be a minimum of 100mm (4'') in depth, and be 150mm (6'') larger than both the length and width of external size of the proposed building.
In order to ensure that your base is square, measure out a
3-4-5 triangle before securing the shuttering prior to concreting.
To check that the base is square, measure the diagonals of the base. Both measurements should be the same. |
