Hi,
I have read through the post about waterproofing your shed. My shed is not built yet but my slab ready - but its not rebated.
I read about the U channels at the bottom of the shed.
My ideas are to use builder plastic inside the shed - see diagram to protect damp rising from the slab that had weep in from the side. (I am not sure if plastic sheet was below slab).
also to use plastic pallets as raised floors. i probably have to cut it down given shed is only ~ 800m wide.
Can anyone point out any issues with this plan?
Not sure about the sliding door bit yet.
thanks!
Hello @slacker878
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about waterproofing your shed.
Linning the shed floor with builder's plastic and raising the items to be stored off the floor is a good idea. But please remember that moisture and condensation often get trapped inside the shed so if you are storing anything important inside the shed, I suggest putting it in an All Set 100L Grey And Green Heavy Duty Storage Container With Flat Lid. This will protect it from moisture and condensation, please do not use a cardboard box as the cardboard will absorb all the moisture and turn your item mouldy.
In regards to the sliding door, just make sure to provide enough space for the door to fit in when you open your shed.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
