Hi, I have a really sloping garden but need to have a shed/garden store box. Can you guys help me out with the different options to create a level base for it to stand on ? Cheers!

You could.

1. dig the bank out, and form a level base.

2. built a small wall, need footings, and either fill with hard core and concrete, or fit wood or concrete beams for the shed to stand on.

3. build brick or wood piers.

Personally I thing building a small wall with a fancy brick or stone would look the part, maybe even build it the width of the garden and form a ledge, for a small small lawn, whatever it's going to involve shifting some mud. Laughing

Friend of mine did something similar, when he layered the garden in 6ft shelves all the way up the hill. He built a series of walls then dragged the dirt from the back to the front on each level, with steps through the middle.
