Shed advice!

Hi All

Just after a bit of advice if possible.

I've got a shed arriving next week and have levelled my ground as best as I can and am using an ecodeck base.

When I lay the ecodeck and check levels it is mostly even but in a few areas it is showing up as uneven, but no more than a cm or so.

Does this matter? Does the ground need to be 100% even in every area or is it passable to be slightly off in places once the shed goes down on the base?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Cheers

If you have a few low spots I would not see it being a big problem as you could put some packers underneath if you really had to. Any high spots might stop the shed from sitting flat (obviously). How big a shed are you talking about?

It sounds like you've still got some time to get it level so do the right thing and get it done!!

Thanks fir your reply!

It's only an 8x6 so not big, no amount of moving/removing soil seems to work!
I'll get some packers underneath and get it sorted.

Cheers!

Suggest putting the base on some treated timber bearers which are then easily levelled with packers.
Assuming your ecodeck is filled with soil that is.

Ground should be even otherwise if it becomes too unever in future it will cause gaps which will make the sheds life lower
