    Great video. Just one thing though (as a former civil engineer) is that I don’t recommend leaving out the mesh on a slab that big. Concrete shrinks as it dries and the mesh is there to stop the cracks from getting too wide.

      Thanks for pointing that out. It’s good to know I’m on the right track from someone who’s actually qualified 😂

    could you build this workshop on the plastic grid / pea gravel system you used under your shed?

    • @sumeraybuilds
      @sumeraybuilds  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, but you would need to build a timber frame on top of the grids 😃

    Hi , really cool footage and tips. So base is perfectly level everywhere ? I've heard base should have some fall for rain otherwise water may stay in one place and make moisture?

    • @sumeraybuilds
      @sumeraybuilds  Місяць тому

      Thanks 🙏 yes it’s perfectly level because I’m using it as the floor to the workshop. If you’re building a timber floor on top then I think you should have a slight fall on it to let water run off.

    I’m digging my garden over the last 2 weeks I’m at the 3ed skip to fill with soil which brings my cost to £720 already…

      Yeah I was very lucky to have the option to use the soil I removed, glad it was mostly topsoil too! It'll be worth it once you're done!

    did you measure the diagonals, good series

    • @sumeraybuilds
      @sumeraybuilds  2 місяці тому

      Yes I did and it was 5mm longer on one vs the other, which I was pretty happy with!

    Good video, but I wonder what the hard way is? What happens to the DPM around the sides?

    • @sumeraybuilds
      @sumeraybuilds  8 днів тому +1

      Haha that’s a fair point! I used the DPM under the timber frame too. I cover it on the next episode (timber walls)
