    Garden cabin with oak subfloor perimeter on concrete pilings

    Thanks for the info. This system is so easy to misunderstand, I wonder why it's stood for so long. How is 5m x 5m meters denoted?

    Garden cabin with oak subfloor perimeter on concrete pilings

    Good use of that soil. I wish I could do the same, but raising the level of my garden isn't an option. I'm having to get rid of the soil I excavated for the whole area plus what I dug out for the pilings. I'd love to find someone who needs 12 ton of top soil but it seems that that's something...

    Garden cabin with oak subfloor perimeter on concrete pilings

    I'm installing a 5m x 5m garden cabin in my back garden. There are height restrictions. In order to accommodate these and to accommodate the depth of a 6x2 subfloor resting on concrete pilings, I've had to excavate the cabin area about a foot below grade. Since the life of the cabin depends on...
