looking at a GP shed going up, stone floor be going in so just wondering what others do if not pouring an internal slab ?
Thank you, that's what i thought , but there is a fair bit of conflicting guff floating about.
as long as it wont blow away im happy
I didn’t think it did , but I couldn’t remember what it looks like when we put the stone in it ! Like you have reminded me that was 14 years ago I now feel old !Our second straw barn hasn’t got anything on top of the bolts, it’s been there 14 years......
Sounds exactly the same as those sheds that failed due to the snow 10 or so years ago.. The main cause of many collapses was the base bolts failing due to corrosion and heeling over on the packers, both of which could have been prevented by grouting or concreting round the bases.Our second straw barn hasn’t got anything on top of the bolts, it’s been there 14 years......

I would say that as long as the bolts are completely covered it should be fine, but plenty are not.sorry probably should have clarified, i meant concrete on top like a 6" layer, not proper grouting in , around and over the cones which i would take as part of erection
Easier to steal with nuts exposed or to remove if a tenantI would say that as long as the bolts are completely covered it should be fine, but plenty are not.
Or take down to replace when some twit torches it. We undid bolts and placed new shed straight back up. It was only 6 months old thoughEasier to steal with nuts exposed or to remove if a tenant
