What base for shed?

I am wanting to build a 3.4 x 2 m shed. Can I use: DEKO 250 x 150 x 150mm Instant Concrete Foundation Block - Bunnings Australia as a foundation?

 

My soil is compact.

Re: FOUNDATION

Hi @Samc1234

 

The DEKO 250 x 150 x 150mm Instant Concrete Foundation Blocks can be used for a variety of structures without needing to pour traditional concrete footings. You do need to ensure the ground is well-compacted before placing them, as they rely on stable soil to support the structure. They can work well for creating a base frame for a shed. Are you planning to build the entire shed yourself, or is this just a base for a prefabricated shed? If it’s for a prefabricated shed, you’ll want to check with the manufacturer to confirm that a floating foundation like this is suitable for their model.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

They are certainly suitable for constructing a frame for a garden shed on @Samc1234.
