Ive just removed a pond in the garden that was about 4ft square and 2ft deep. I want to fill the hole in and lay a concrete base for a shed. Any ideas as what i need to do with regards to filling the hole. Any help gratefully recieved.
Hardcore. That's crushed rock/brick, not pron.
Instead of concrete do you not fancy using something like this [url= http://http://www.plasticshedbase.co.uk/shed-bases-plastic/12-shed-base-6ft-x-4ft.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwm8-6BRDgnb-Dk96UmRASJADbMycYzR_7cRy-lnyANh4QwutGKN-RJTO4ym0Igh0LkyUG1xoC5lTw_wcB ]plastic grid[/url]? That's what I'll be using instead of messing around with concrete.
Link not working; try again? (I'm interested)

we used probase tiles - [url= http://www.shedbase.com/probase/ ]http://www.shedbase.com/probase/[/url]
- there are quite a few suppliers of similar stuff,
another idea would be to ebay or gumtree for plastic pallets as you can sit stuff on them.
if the shed had a solid base you can get a prebuilt standard sizes wooden kit that sits on spikes
I've also seen old railway sleepers used (and concrete posts)
sorry double post
How heavy will this shed be ?
Not sure how heavy it is but its not a big shed. I think its 7'x4'.
You'll need to pack down the hardcore very, very well filling in an old pond site otherwise there's a risk it may start sinking in the coming months/years.
I know this from experience 🙁
It would be a shed with a basement if it was me.
It's a 7x4 shed. Fill the hole with whatever, stamp the surface firm then plonk shed on top.
But as piedi di formaggio says, fill it with something solid.
