A metal base 1 to support a building, such as shed X, comprises a metal frame 2 having long edge members 3 and 4 and short edge members 5 and 6. Intermediate members may subdivide the internal space (Fig 1, 7 and 8). The frame may be made from galvanised box section steel. Sleeves (Fig 1,5A, 5B, 6A and 6B) may be fitted to the short/long edge members to allow them to be fitted to the other of the short/long edge members. Tabs or projections (Fig 1,7A, 7B, 8A, 8B) may be fitted to the intermediate members to allow them to rest on the long edge members. A plurality of legs (Fig 1, 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D) may be made from concrete reinforcing bar and may be fitted with sleeves (Fig 1,10A, 10B, 10C, 10D) to allow them to be fitted over the edge members. The legs may be located within holes A, B, C, D. Concrete may then be poured into the holes forming feet 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D. The base may then be above ground level and a building, for example a wooden shed; may be placed on the base. |
