    Best method of shed foundations? slabs or concrete?

    Hi, can anybody help me in the choice of shed foundations, i am going to be getting a 10 x 8 metal shed and was wondering whether anyone recommends conncrete foundations or slab foundations..

    Not concerned about different materials needed just which one generally will last longer..

    Many Thanks!

    For me, the concrete foundation is probably the easiest to get completely even. I have done one in the last year, and used paving slabs, but my reason is that I live in a mid-terrace house, so it was easier to bring in slabs and sand than try to get wheelbarrows in through the house. So, if access isn't a problem, maybe the concrete option. As for the longevity, I imagine that they would last the same amount of time if done right.
    now that's my tuppence worth, hope that helps

    lay your slabs on a good compo base ( sand and cement ) and will last a lot longer that your shed ever will

    ive got a metal shed next size up and used concrete base (i already had a mixer) and that was quicker/easier than it was to put slabs down for my greenhouse
