I plan to set up a garden shed in autumn. It is a log cabin-style shed (3 m) with a 3 m extension, so 6 by 3 m (approximately 20 by 10 feet).
Now I am wondering how to most easily design the foundation. From my point of view, a concrete slab seems a bit excessive.
I could build a wooden substructure with anchors set into isolated footings, or work with ground anchors.
Maybe I am completely off track, so I would really appreciate your opinions on this.
Regarding ground anchors or isolated footings, how many would I need?
Thank you and best regards
