Hello everyone,

we are tenants of a single-family house and urgently need a good shelter option for our bikes (securely lockable, etc.). We have chosen a Biohort Avantgarde A7.

The whole thing will be set up on an already concreted area, which, however, has a height offset of about 4 cm across the width of the shed.

Ideally, we would lay a new foundation, but due to the circumstances, this would be very costly. Since we are tenants, I want to keep our investment in the property low.

After research and discussions, it seems feasible to me to compensate for the height difference using post supports that are screwed into the existing foundation and on which the house will then be placed—individually adjusted in height. Alternatively, it has also been discussed to implement the whole thing with shims.

Do you see any major problems with the described implementation or a better (for the above reasons, more cost-effective) implementation?

You are tenants, so you will eventually take the thing with you again.

Therefore, I would not spend more than necessary.

What speaks against simply placing the thing on the slightly slanted base plate and that’s it?

The water still drains...

please connect well to the ground. In the last days, with a bit more wind, a Biohort just set up here flew through the air :-(

Word.

I was still laughed at in the summer when I fixed ours to the ground with dowels.

Today, no one laughs here anymore...

4 cm can be easily leveled with a compensating compound.

Hello. Thank you for the feedback so far. I have now ordered the floor frame to try out some solutions and see how high the offset actually is. It is 7 cm. After consultations at the hardware store, we have now moved away from leveling compound and similar products - due to the effort and costs. A solution with [Stelzlagern] from the terrace area seems to be the most suitable solution. The frame would be fixed to the concrete with anchor bolts, ensuring storm protection. Do you see any problems with this solution?
