1. Area Not Measured
Building a shed is a great way to add extra storage to your home. Before you start building, measuring the area where you intend to put your shed is essential.
Check if you have enough space for the shed, and it will also help you avoid any potential problems of not having enough space for the shed or having to move the shed after it’s been built. Once you’ve measured the area, you can start planning the shed’s size and layout.
2. Not Checking Regulations and Codes
Check if there are any local regulations or building codes you need to be aware of. Failure to do so could result in you having to undo all the work that you’ve done or even face fines.
The best way to avoid this is to take the time to do a bit of research before you start any work. Once you know the rules, follow them and prevent any problems.
3. Not Considering the Base
A good shed base should be level, compacted, and well-drained. It’s also essential to choose a suitable material for your shed base. Gravel is an excellent option for many sheds, but it’s essential to ensure the gravel is compacted.
Concrete is another popular option for shed bases, but it’s essential to ensure the concrete is cured before building on it. If you’re unsure what to do, it’s best to start reading online reviews or check out these shed homes for sale.
