Hi, Thinking of putting in a wooden shed 20 ft x 10 ft wide. How much would it cost for a concrete base?
 
Can't help with cost Niallers but we did our own - a bit of digging, cement/sand + hire of mixer. Dead easy.

We hadn't a clue really and made it up as we went along - shed still standing 6 years later.
 
Shur what could possibly go wrong :)
Can't really argue with it standing 6 years later. fair play
 
I laid a new driveway last year 23`X 10`and 100mm deep(50 mm would do you for a shed), cost me €220 for the concrete delivered and poured.
 
If its an ordinary wooden shed then there should be no need for a concrete base as the shed would probably have its own floor. A row of blocks set in the ground around the perimeter and maybe an extra row across the middle, under a timber that's supporting the shed floor, should be quite adequate. Let the blocks sit up maybe 2 inches over the ground level to keep the shed clear of surface water/damp, which should prolong the life of the shed. No need for mortar with the blocks, just make sure the ground is reasonably solid. A concrete base is overkill, IMHO.
