[Nigel Politzer]

Hello Simon,

Still haven't seen my post appear on the list. Am I being too impatient or
is there a problem?

Thanks,

Nigel

    Hi there,

    I need some advice / ideas. I'm planning to build a largish (20 m2)
garden
    shed / greenhouse. My current thinking is essentially a wood frame
building
    with glazing on south sides and strawbale infill on north facing walls.
The
    roof will be a single slope, rising to south side to allow maximum
glazed
    area, also insulated with strawbales, snd with large overhangs to
protect
    walls and prevent overheating in Summer. The floor inside the building
will
    be compacted gravel to allow any overflow from the watering to soak
away.
    I'll need drains out though the foundations so that water doesn't
    accumulate. The site is more or less level. The soil is fairly sandy and
    I've access to plenty of stone and/or old roof tiles.

    So I'm unsure what would be a good solution for the foundations and I'd
    appreciate your ideas. Main critera are low impact, low cost and, if
    possible, not too much work!

    Thanks in advance,

    Nigel
