Guides on shed erection/setting out

[Rufus]

To resurrect an old thread... How many profile boards would you generally use when setting out a 100 x 50 shed with a fall in the field of about 1/2 a meter between highest and lowest points on the longest diagonal opposing corners? I'm using the boards to get the hardcore to somewhere near level across the shed.

Thanks

put your holding down bolts in and the frame up before you hardcore it , not ideal digging through all the hardcore and you want the foundation in the original ground

If you do it that way how do you go on getting the cement wagon in and working on it if it comes wet?

Would a 3m wide track around the perimeter get round this one to leave the middle bit without hardcore on it?

you will get foundations dug and poured in one day ,you could hardcore the middle to get truck in , Say 40 ft wide and go from there , Are you retaining the fill inside the shed or are you running it past and battering it down , if your retaining it consider the force on the panels when you are compacting it and i would put bigger holding down bolts and thrust bars into slab do to tie posts to floor slab , I know it’s only half a meter but you will have some force if compacted correctly
