Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of creating a foundation made of concrete slabs for our equipment shed with a side roof. Now I have encountered the problem that I have a slope of 2% (9 cm over 4.5 m) at the outer edges (lawn) of the "excavation pit" for the equipment shed. I hope you can give me tips on how to best execute the foundation in terms of height.
I tried to make the sketch as understandable as possible. If I install the gravel along with the concrete slabs at the deepest point of my pit (overhang over the lawn about 2-3 cm), I have the concrete slabs on the other side (right) about 9 cm below the lawn edge (equipment shed door below lawn edge).
I had already thought about executing the paving with the 2% slope as well, but I am concerned that the equipment shed will then look "crooked" (dimensions of equipment shed 3.0 m x 3.0 m + side roof 1.5 m x 3.0 m).
I hope I was able to explain my concern/problem somewhat understandably ;)
Thanks in advance.
Regards Jörg
