Benefits of Choosing a Concrete Garden Shed Slab
Investing in a concrete slab foundation for your shed floor offers numerous advantages over other foundation options like gravel or timber. Concrete slabs are more durable, low-maintenance, and provide a better seal against moisture.
Long-Lasting Durability – Concrete floors are tough, weather-resistant, and can handle heavy loads without cracking or shifting.
Low Maintenance – Once installed, a concrete shed foundation requires minimal upkeep compared to other base types. It won’t warp or settle over time.
Customisable Options – We offer different finishes and thicknesses, including paving slabs and rebated slabs, to suit your shed’s size and style.
Our Garden Shed Slab Installation Process
We believe in delivering high-quality, efficient shed foundation installations. From site preparation to the final concrete floor, every step is carried out with precision and care to ensure a strong and durable concrete shed base.
Forming & Pouring – Sturdy forms outline the dimensions before we pour a premium concrete mix for a durable shed floor. This ensures even distribution and optimal strength.
Site Assessment & Preparation – We assess your site, clear debris, and level the area to prepare for a solid shed foundation. A compacted gravel base ensures a strong concrete slab foundation.
Curing & Finishing – After curing, we apply a finish of your choice—smooth, textured, or reinforced—for a functional and visually appealing concrete floor. This enhances durability and resistance to wear.
Final Inspection – A thorough inspection ensures your shed foundation is level, strong, and built to last. We check for proper curing, surface integrity, and overall stability to guarantee long-term durability.
Garden Shed Slab Customisation
We provide a variety of shed floor finishes to match your needs and aesthetic preferences.
From standard concrete for a clean, functional base to reinforced options for extra strength, and textured or sealed finishes for added durability—the choice is yours!
For those considering alternative foundations, a paving slab can be used for smaller sheds, though a concrete base offers superior stability and longevity.
Reinforced Support – Opt for steel mesh or rebar reinforcement to enhance the load-bearing capacity of your shed foundation and prevent cracking.
Protective Coatings – Apply sealants or moisture barriers to improve longevity and resist wear from the elements.
Drainage Solutions – Customise your concrete slab foundation with slight grading or drainage channels to direct water away from your shed wall.

Garden Shed Slab FAQ
-
A concrete slab foundation is the most durable and stable base for a garden shed, but it’s not always required. For lightweight sheds, paving slabs or gravel may suffice, but concrete floors prevent movement, moisture issues, and long-term wear. For a new shed, a thicker slab may be necessary depending on the shed size and intended use.
-
The cost of a shed foundation varies, but in Australia, prices typically range from $70 to $150 per square metre, depending on slab thickness, site preparation, and finish. If concrete removal is required for an old base, this may add to the overall cost. A larger shed or a thicker slab can increase the cost based on the materials and work required.
-
A concrete slab foundation is the best base for a garden shed as it provides a level, strong, and weather-resistant foundation. Alternative options include compacted gravel, timber bearers, or paving slabs for a small shed. A reinforced aggregate concrete slab can offer additional strength and aesthetic appeal for larger shed foundations.
-
For most applications, the minimum thickness of a concrete slab foundation in Australia is 100mm (10cm), but for non-load-bearing surfaces, such as pathways, 75mm may be acceptable. A rebated slab may be recommended for sheds needing extra edge support. Ensuring the wet concrete is poured and levelled correctly is crucial for a stable and long-lasting foundation.
-
A concrete floor should cure for at least 7 days before placing a shed on it. However, full strength is achieved in 28 days, so heavy loads should be avoided during this period. A thicker slab will take a bit longer to fully cure, so keep that in mind for your new shed installation.
-
In Australia, council approval may be required depending on the shed size, location, and local regulations. Generally, sheds under 10m² don’t need approval, but it’s best to check with your local council. Larger shed sizes or more complex foundations may require additional permits.
-
No, a shed floor should not be poured directly onto the soil. Proper site preparation, including compacting a gravel or crushed rock base, ensures stability and prevents cracking over time. Using a high-quality concrete mix further enhances the durability of the shed foundation. If using aggregate concrete, it’s important to prepare the surface properly to achieve a strong and even finish.
