    Just bite the bullet and concrete the floor and build the shed up off that ! ;)

    I'll be looking forward to the 'new' Weybourne and Sheringham Railway. :thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.

    Hi Gary, been there and mixed that!! (concrete that is!). Too old for concretre mixing now, the back wouldn't take it!!Been talking to the shed makers this morning and they said if I was using a 'Portabase' then my best bet would be to cover that with decking before putting the shed up. Sounds a good idea as I will have some spare deck boards when I've finished the decking area at the rear of the house! Levelling and damp proofing it will be an easy job then with a stronger floor! :)
    CheersRon

    I'm with you on the 12x7, especially in OO, the two feet extra length will make more of a difference than the extra foot in width.

    For my shed I made brick pillars with a DPC on the top layer and used 6 x 4 joists to support the floor, as the ground falls 12" from 1 diagonal corner to the other, minimum ground clearance is 8", going to 20" at the other.

    The shed is an L shape, 20ft x 20 ft on the long sides, the main body being 20 x 12, with the short leg being 8 x 8, the drop being the diagonal accross the 20 x 20.

    It would be great for a model railway, if it wasn't so cold in the winter, and more importantly wasn't full of junk :whatever:

    Shed base is arriving today as is the patio/decking!! I will start a new thread I think and the shed build and layout will be included. Still stripping wallpaper and painting in the house, I have to keep Lynne happy so as to get my jobs done as well! :)
    Cheers
