concrete blocks as shed base
This clip shows how i set out and lay a concrete block base for a wooden shed, summerhouse or playhouse.. Am i using the correct concrete blocks for the base of my shed and how many do i need? am i using the correct concrete blocks? i've seen others use those square piers, will the ones i have work? raising and extending a concrete shed base, does the existing concrete need to be broken up?. An on-grade shed foundation made out of cinder blocks is a quick and easy foundation to construct. made of concrete masonry units, or cmus, this type of foundation usually takes very little work. No foundation, no slab, no concrete blocks. i placed it directly on the soil that i compacted with a 4x4 by hand and made sure the soil slanted away from the shed for good drainage. i installed the same, or similar, floor kit and covered it with plywood.. Concrete piers for sheds may be necessary if the shed site has considerable slope. unlike setting a shed on blocks, which are also built in piers, concrete piers go fairly deep into the ground, and are a permanent foundation..
