More often than not a new shed will have a different foot print and different falls and drainage. 10 years ago they were building 280 ft sheds with an 18 inch fall to one end, now they are laying them dead level or with a side fall.
The only floor I've got that really needs any real work is in a shed that's nudging 40 years old. As Shumnuigus says, it's just not worth throwing any money at a hut that close to obsolescence.
Epoxy resin sounds like an expensive repair? Sharp sand & cement / or melted bitumen seem to be the go to methods for cracks and craters.
Yes cement based or bitumen materials would definitely be less expensive. I was thinking of a total resurfacing that would bring added benefits. Less wash down/ quicker drying and doesn’t harbour bugs like bare concrete.
I have a relatively new pig shed on old concrete and have been pondering the best way to sort the cracks. Resin looks too expensive, can bitumen be a diy thing or do you need to get someone in?
You've only got to melt it and pour it in the holes with a metal watering can.
My dad (out of the same mould as the inventor in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) made some contraption out of an old oil drum and a Maywick capopy brooder burner, so it can be done. Personally speaking I'd hire the right kit or get someone in. I'm not quite so 'hands on'.
