Levelling workshop floor

[Gossamer]

Morning,

I have recently laid a concrete base in the garden for a new workshop. It is larger than the workshop base as it will also be a woodstore and shelter for garden furniture etc. consequently it was constructed with a fall so water drains from the back and sides.

Obvious issue now is the workshop floor will have a slight slope in two directions, which might be annoying (it’s not built yet).

What are my options for levelling the workshop floor?

There will be a brick course which the wooden structure will be built on.

Cheers.

Might be easier to use furring strips under the shed - (battens cut at the appropriate angle along their length) - than change the base.

They will also reduce/delay damp penetration into the workshop bearers.

Hiw about running your first course of brick level, dpm and screed the floor level, overlap the dpm, another course of brick then timber from there?

You mean put wood battens / joists across the floor to level then place floorboards on top of them?

I did think about this but can't face more concreting!

Thats probably the easiest if you have the tools to do it!
