concrete, mortar or screed?

Ah, wont be doing that just filling it up so she has a solid level floor that wont rot

if you intend the concrete floor to be the floor of the shed and not just a base how do you intend to stop the bottom of the sides rotting ?

its was all treated and painted before it was built and painted again a few months ago

IIRC this one I've used in the past for working out quantities, worked out fairly close.

but that didn't stop the floor rotting and as it will be sat on the base it will soak up the water

 

[BrokenBiker]

the floors weren't treated afaik, and thinking about it the edges are supported on paving slabs, which is probably why they haven't rotted along with the base.

will get a better look tomorrow as I didn't take that much notice of anything except the floor earlier

wont be very strong though not even 1mm thick :whistle

I thought that but it does state that 100mm should be entered as 0.1 when you input the data

 

[the snooper]

oh right didn't go to the page was just looking at the picture posted

 

[BrokenBiker]

that's the reason I went to the page, I thought 0.1mm was a bit thin lol

 

[Pete.]

Yeah if you put in 100mm it tells you to buy a thousand tonnes of concrete mix

 

[BrokenBiker]

haha bit much for a shed floor lol
