It is doable using the same length stanchions, but the higher bases should have been shuttered properly and neatly, and had 16mm or 20mm rebar embedded throughout such that the protruding part of the concrete is at least as strong as the stanchion itselfWe are having a 60 x 80 ft shed put up and the contractors have just put in the bases for the steel frame, see pictures. I questioned that the bases are all set the same level despite there being about 500mm difference in ground level, and some bases have been put in using soil or hardcore as shuttering. Every building we have put up in the past the stanchions have always been extended to accommodate uneven ground. Is this the new way of building or am I having my leg lifted. Before anybody asks, yes it was the cheapest quote, but from a recommended and well known company.View attachment 988385View attachment 988386View attachment 988387
Why would you be concerned? Local builder will do footings for the next shed if he's delayed at his current shed for some reason. That means they are well cured before he starts and he can move equipment over when he's finished with it at the current site.Is it just me or is anyone else concerned that the bloke doing the bases has time to do them before the shed is made? Don't start here until everything is on site
How does that work if the stanchions are made to fit the level of the pads?Is it just me or is anyone else concerned that the bloke doing the bases has time to do them before the shed is made? Don't start here until everything is on site
Good builder will take levels before and order shed to suit ,that's my experience anywayHow does that work if the stanchions are made to fit the level of the pads?
Never had everything on site before they start. Post mountings first then she’d made to suit pads then it all turns up.Is it just me or is anyone else concerned that the bloke doing the bases has time to do them before the shed is made? Don't start here until everything is on site

Sheds we've put up have been around livestock yards, don't like the idea of open holes with bolts stuck up for weeks or even month's while the sheds on order.
Just as snarling bee said there are many ways to build a shed
Yes, I get that. I just wasn't sure how you would expect a construction co. To turn up with 360's, telehandler s etc etc, sink the pads and then wait until a shed is built. A lot of gear sitting about earning nothing.Good builder will take levels before and order shed to suit ,that's my experience anyway
