Distressed by the mess left by the previous owner - the shifted shed's foundation..!

 

Are we able to fix it ourselves using tools and materials from Bunnings?🥲

 

We're unsure where to even begin.

 

Any suggestions on how we can salvage this shed would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to repair the foundation movement of the shed?

Hi @ivanptr,

 

It's a bit hard to tell from the image, but is the foundation slanted, or is the shed leaning backwards?

 

Do you have any idea what the foundation is constructed from? It appears to be a cobbled-together timber foundation. Perhaps once you've shifted some of the debris in the shed, you'll be able to lift the flooring to better assess what's going on underneath.

 

Ideally, the best foundation for a shed is a concrete slab. Here's a helpful step-by-step guide: How to pour a concrete slab.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
