Shed slabs are one of the most popular projects we handle! Whether creating a foundation for a new shed or upgrading an existing one, Concrete Taxi is the perfect choice for small to medium-sized shed slabs. We specialise in delivering just the right amount of concrete – no waste, no extra fees, and no fuss.
Before you start pouring wet concrete, it’s crucial to plan and design your shed slab meticulously. Key factors include the shed size, the type of items you’ll be storing, and the environmental conditions, like soil type, of your location. Proper planning ensures your concrete foundation will be stable and durable, providing a solid base and level surface for your shed.
Our shed slab concrete is mixed to either 20MPA or 25MPA strength, designed to handle the significant weight of storage items and equipment. It provides a durable, level foundation that protects your shed’s structure and contents. For enhanced protection against moisture, consider using a rebated slab, which includes a raised edge to prevent water ingress along shed walls. Many shed builders recommend a rebated concrete slab for areas prone to reactive soils to achieve maximum strength and durability.
Choosing the right concrete slab thickness is essential for the longevity and functionality of your shed. For a standard garden shed, a minimum thickness of 100mm (4 inches) is usually sufficient. However, for heavy machinery or equipment, thicker slabs up to 150mm (6 inches) are ideal. Reinforced concrete with steel mesh or steel rebar can provide additional strength, creating a shed floor capable of supporting heavy loads on soft soil or other challenging ground conditions. Consulting with professional concreters or shed companies can help you determine the right thickness for your project to prevent shrinkage cracking and maintain stability.
When comparing the overall cost of a concrete shed slab to other foundation types, it’s essential to consider both the initial investment and the longevity. Concrete slabs may have a higher upfront cost, but they offer lasting durability and minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective choice for shed foundations. Choosing high-quality concrete ensures stability and a smooth finish, providing reliable support for your shed over the long term.
We understand that every shed project is unique, so our team mixes on-site, using laser level techniques to ensure a stable base that meets your exact requirements. This approach helps save time and reduces costs, giving you a perfect foundation for normal use and beyond.
