The intelligent construction of the strip foundation saves concrete

In this substructure is only under the outer walls of the garden shed concrete, but must be excavated for the required digging the soil at least seventy inches deep. The actual floor slab of the house can thus remain much thinner.

The point foundation

This is not so easy to plan for the layman, because the dot foundation for the garden shed is usually formed from nine small individual foundations. Required for this are square holes with forty centimeters of side length, which must be at least eighty inches deep. These are boarded and filled with concrete. An additional bottom plate is often omitted in this substructure.
