roadkill Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Looking at putting another shed in the garden so i can work on my bikes, size i'm going for is a 12x8 I was going to pour a concrete base but due to my raised garden and where i have drainage pipes running this wouldn't be suitable, so my next best option is to make a raised wooden frame for the shed to sit on. So my questions are as follows Is 4x2 a suitable size to make the frame and cross sections from ? Do I use joist hangers or just use screws to hold it all together? Would you use 4x4 posts to concrete in the ground and attach to the frame or is there another way to support it off the ground that would be better?

GingerCat Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Got a large shed in my garden sat on railway sleepers. Seemes to do the job and couldn' have taken more than 15 minutes to position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 just remember things can get under your shed if you use sleepers, sounds like a good idea just make sure a terrier can fit. joist hangers are good and not that dear, i would use them if you do a frame.
