The Base For Your Building

Concrete Slab

The slab should be at least 4" (10,2 cm) thick. It must be level and ﬂ at to provide good support for the frame.

The following are the recommended materials for your base.

2 x 4's (38 mm x 89 mm) (will be removed once the concrete cures)

Concrete Sheet of 6 mil plastic

We recommend for a proper strength concrete to use a mix of:

1 part cement 3 parts pea sized gravel 2 1/2 parts clean sand

Prepare the Site/Construct a Base

1. Dig a square, 6" (15,2 cm) deep into the ground (remove grass).

2. Fill up to 4" (10,2 cm) in the square with gravel and tamp ﬁ rm.

3. Cover gravel with a sheet of 6 mil plastic.

4. Construct a wood frame using four planks of 2x4 (38 mm x 89 mm)

lumber.

5. Pour in concrete to ﬁ ll in the hole and the frame giving a

total of 4" (10,2 cm) thick concrete. Be sure surface is level.

Allow 3 - 5 hours for construction and a week for concrete curing time.

Note: Before beginning construction, check local building codes

regarding footings, location and other requirements.
