New shed - mounting options

[Adman101]

Hi all
I have started the process of moving and replacing my shed but have a few questions. Firstly, i am installing a concrete base as i dont want a wooden floor as i have to drive a ride on to it and i may be undertaking some messy operations including oil. I was going to lay a course of engineering brick (to prolong the life)before i mount the new shed (that I am building) to it. What is the best way to mount the sills of the shed to the concrete - i was thinking of drilling holes and using epoxy resin and threaded bar?

Any pointers welcome, i was going to complete the frame and shiplap panelling first then move on to the roof...

Shed will be 3m x 5m

Thanks in advance

Bed in cement. What type of construction method/material for shed?

 

[Adman101]

It will be 3x2 treated frame with shiplap panelling. You reckon bed in mortar. How is best to do that, bearing in mind i as gonna use a course of enineering brick to lift the bottom off the ground.

Thanks

Do you mean the sole plate?

If building a sub base of engineering bricks, mortar to smooth...dpc... then shed on top.

Dry run of shed assembly on concrete base making sure all is level/parallel and square, get eight suitable coachbolts and drill each touching set of corner studs through with a clearance drill, bolt assembly together and check again. If you need to make any adjustments, make them now. Mark everything up.

Best to use a fairly stiff mortar, then with help place shed panels onto mortar, bolting each panel loosely until all are in place. Once checked you can nip up all the nuts progressively. That should do it...pinenot

4"x2" would be better ,what design roof are you having?2 or three courses of bricks depending on design of slab would get you out of the wet.
