think you misunderstand me powerfloating is what you do to the concrete to achieve a 'glass' like surface before paintin (makes it easier to paint too)

wish i had done mine a bit bigger,

mine is only 5.5m by 10 m

should have gone for 7m by 12m

with two cars side by side its a bit tight, and the lengh will fit two car end to end, but again there aint much room for the spares and tools,

one day when i can be assed i may exstend, but then if do that it will have to go to 15m or so, not practical to make it wider now as it will be to much work,


lol at your footing depth, when i did mine it had to be 750mm min

just like the houses ect

Too right. Six inches is a big old drop for someone of Spiky's stature.

Make sure you get an adult to help you
