Firmly anchor the garden house: A foundation ensures stability
In particular, in garden house kits could come up with the idea, the scales simply on a flat, provided with a drainage, firmly stamped, vegetation-free area to build. A really good idea is not that, because the lack of anchorage you would have to seek your arbor in the next stronger wind under certain circumstances on the neighboring property. But how can the house be weatherproofed in the ground?
The foundation connects the house to the ground
Here you have different options:
The point foundation
In this fairly easy to build foundation of concrete is applied only selectively. These concrete areas, on which then the foundation beams are attached, should protrude about 20 centimeters lower than the frost limit into the soil.
You can either support the holes with a wooden shuttering or simply insert PVC drainage pipes, which are then filled with concrete. This is also a very cost effective and practical variant, which provides good air circulation and therefore practical, you have to set up the garden shed in a rather humid garden corner.
The strip foundation
Here, interconnected and filled with concrete trenches form the basis, attach to the arbor in the connection. The stripes run underneath the exterior walls of the house, with larger garden sheds provide transverse to the position of the bars added stripes additional support.
The plate foundation
Here, the entire floor slab of the arbor is cast in concrete. This is a little more elaborate to make:
A background of terrace tiles
Metal appliance houses are often mounted on a straightforward substructure made of concrete slabs, which are placed in a grit bed. On this fasten the metal substructure, into which the side elements are inserted.
Tips
Please keep in mind that a foundation makes the bower in all federal states subject to approval. Do not barge the corridor to the office, as you will almost always get the building permit for a standard garden shed without any problem.
