The Foundation For Your Building

Foundation

BX9

Concrete Slab

The slab should be at least 4" (10cm) thick. It must be level and flat to provide good support for the frame.

The following are the recommended materials for your foundation.

● 2 x 4's (5cm x 10cm) (will be removed once the concrete cures)

● Concrete ● Sheet of 6 mil plastic

● We recommend for a proper strength concrete to use a mix of:

1 part cement ● 3 parts pea sized gravel ● 2 1/2 parts clean sand

Prepare the Site/Construct a Foundation

1. Dig a square, 6" (15cm) deep into the ground (remove grass).

2. Fill up to 4" (10cm) in the square with gravel and tamp firm.

3. Cover gravel with a sheet of 6 mil plastic.

4. Construct a wood frame using four planks of 2x4 (5cm x 10cm)

lumber.

5. Pour in concrete to fill in the hole and the frame giving a

total of 4" (10cm) thick concrete. Be sure surface is level.

Allow 3 - 5 hours for construction and a week for concrete curing time.

Note: Before beginning construction, check local building codes

regarding footings, location and other requirements.
