Hello
This is a garden shed (approx. 3 x 6 m) that needs a foundation. The garden shed is practically standing in a field, and it is difficult to use large amounts of concrete. The ground is planned to be constructed with structural timber 12 x 12 cm (frame 3 x 0.6 m).
Now the question arises whether a "proper" foundation is needed here (80 cm depth) or if "concrete footings" are sufficient? If a deep foundation is required, then I can only imagine a point foundation (making holes with an earth auger and pouring concrete).
Thank you!
