How do I create the foundation for my product?
A good foundation is indispensable for the stability, function and durability of your house. Only an absolutely horizontal and load-bearing foundation ensures a perfect fit of the walls and good stability.
We recommend a foundation plate for this. It should be slightly larger than the underlay plan. Furthermore, this board must be at least 10 cm higher than the surrounding floor. This serves as a splash guard. The underlays must be laid to form a rectangular square. Each underlay must be firmly connected to the foundation. This serves to protect the wind.
However, there are other suitable foundation types for garden sheds and outdoor saunas:
Foundation construction of garages, carports and pavilions:
The most stable way to attach a post is to set it in concrete with the help of an appropriate anchor. H-Post Anchor provide a firm hold for the pillars of garages, carports and pavilions. They also protect the wood by creating a distance from the damp soil. This is because wood is always exposed to the risk of rot when it comes into direct contact with the ground.
Rot can be caused by the following factors:
-
- Wet soils with poor drainage
- Acidic soil
- Bark mulch with high acid content
This is how foundation creation works:
In any case, dig the foundation hole 60-80 cm deep (frost line). Now the H-post anchor is hung in the foundation hole with the post attached and provisionally fixed with slats. Now you have the opportunity to use a spirit level and a tape measure to check the system for distance, perpendicular correctness and continuous height and correct it if necessary. Now set up your gazebo or patio roof. Concreting the foundations is the last step. The struts can be removed after the concrete has hardened (duration approx. 2 days).
