Damp proofing your shed helps to stop moisture from damaging the fabric of the building and destroying your tools and equipment. here we cover routine maintenance, insulation, ventilation, heaters and dehumidifiers, and more.. Both my sheds have floors, which are fairly easy to make, using a 2"x4" frame and 1/2" plywood. you could put a square of linoleum on it, if you wish. both sheds are adequately ventilated under the eaves, and i kept a set of the popular mechanics encyclopedia in one for about 10 years without damage.. The concrete, or slab base, should contain a damp-proof membrane (sized to the entire surface area the shed will occupy). this should be inserted below the flags, or 2” below the surface of the concrete slab. make sure that the surface of the slab, or concrete foundation, is some 2” above adjoining soil levels..
I am building a small shed (kids playhouse) and have already constructed the base see pictures below however i am not familiar with the rules when using damp proof membrane.. I am planning to build my own shed - probably starting next spring. the shed is intended to be more of an outside room, so will be insulated, and may well ultimately house an armchair and a beer fridge! i am happy enough with putting down an insulated, damp-proof concrete base. i intend to build 3x2 framework walls.. How to build a shed base for your garden shed is a very popular question to diydoctor and in all honesty there are a number of ways to do it. we have chosen a standard construction method which allows for a damp proof membrane under the slab to stop damp rising up through it..
