Hi all, ive been busy reading up on the many great shed projects here! My current plan is to build a 4m x 1.8m shed. Ideally I'd like a 4mx3m shed. Now to save me digging up a large section of the garden (I don't have the budget for a skip and all that extra concrete. I was wondering if it possible to just dig up a 1ft trench and lay concrete so that I can then lay down some concrete/wood bearers. Or even just concrete pads every few feet, Is this a bad idea? Im thinking that the section of bearer that is elevated slightly above the paving stones could crack under stress, but I guess I could shim that part to reduce the load.
Lastly, Ive been reading up on Mike's guide to building shed, but I couldn't find info on the spacing of the concrete lintels?
