I used old tarmac Chippings and granite dust so it was solid under foot then used plastic interlocking grid base for it to sit on. I wouldn’t just sit it on the ground mate without making sure it’s solid. They move anyway with the weather so the base is essentialWhat base did you do maye

Quite straightforward but you need to be a decent DIYer in my opinion. As others have said you will need a solid base, I levelled the ground, put MOT sub base down and hired a wacker plate to compact it then put down paving slabs for it to sit on. If there’s any slope the building will probably lean and doors and windows will start to jam. Even doing the above I get a slight issue with the door in winter.Hi
Looking for a garden house to be built over coming weeks. The cabin will be delivered and is a tongue and groove build, I’m told it’s pretty straight forward “if you know what you’re doing”. And is approx 2 days work.
I was about to stick the job on checkatrade etc but thought I’d ask here first in case there are any blues that are joiners/can do this
lol yes budHave you not thought about the base..? You do know you can't just put it on the grass right..?
That’s almost exactly the way I was going, people were suggesting has to be concreteI used old tarmac Chippings and granite dust so it was solid under foot then used plastic interlocking grid base for it to sit on.

Nah it doesn’t and it will cost a lot more money. Mines rock hard I used the same on my drive and it hasn’t shiftedThat’s almost exactly the way I was going, people were suggesting has to be concrete

It's not a difficult job. It's all about the base.
Get the base true and the rest will go like clockwork... as long as you follow the instructions to the letter!
