      <description>&lt;P&gt;I want to build a 6m x 3m shed in my back yard, which has about a 500 to 600mm fall along the length, what would you suggest as best option for a base?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/32364"&gt;@Sticker&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there any chance that you could provide a picture or two of the site where you are going to build this shed?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That would make any suggestions so much easier.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mike T.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/32364"&gt;@Sticker&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Great to see you make your first Workshop post. We're looking forward to seeing your shed project come to life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As Mike mentioned, it would be helpful if you could share some photos so members can see what you are working with.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Obviously the best foundation for your new shed would be a concrete slab. Experienced member&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/23068"&gt;@tom_builds&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has shared a helpful guide &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/How-To/How-to-pour-a-concrete-slab/ba-p/88420" target="_self"&gt;How to pour a concrete slab&lt;/A&gt; which would be perfect for a garden shed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/32364"&gt;@Sticker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for sharing your question about what shed foundation to use on a sloping block. If you don't wish to dig into the slope, I suggest building a timber-framed base on posts. It's very similar to building a low-level deck, but the frame must be strong enough to carry the weight of the shed, the items placed inside and the people standing on it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The other option is to dig into the slope with an excavator and level the area you plan on using. I recommend using a concrete slab for long-term use and storage. The advantage is that concrete requires very little upkeep, but you'll need to consider putting in a retaining wall, plumbing and water diversion because you are on a slope.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Before you begin, I suggest checking your local council's rules and regulations concerning building a shed on a sloping block. Because your proposed shed's flooring area is quite big, it might be necessary to get a permit. I also suggest engaging the services of an engineer so that you can ask them to draw up a flooring plan that is up to code.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you need further assistance, please let us know.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Eric&lt;/P&gt;
