Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a house or shed pad?
A house or shed pad provides a stable, compacted base for a concrete slab or structure. It ensures even weight distribution, reduces movement from soil changes and prevents cracking over time. A well-constructed pad also improves drainage and helps manage moisture, keeping the building foundation solid and durable. It’s a crucial first step before pouring concrete or starting construction.
How thick should a shed or house pad be?
The thickness depends on the project type, soil conditions and load requirements. Most residential pads range from 100mm to 300mm of compacted material, built in layers to achieve density and stability. In areas with softer ground, thicker bases or stronger fill material may be required. Consulting with an experienced earthmoving operator or builder helps determine the correct specifications.
What materials are used for shed and house pads?
Common materials include select fill, crushed rock, road base and compacted gravel. These materials are chosen for their stability, drainage properties and ability to compact evenly. Each layer is compacted using vibrating rollers or plate compactors to remove air pockets and create a firm, level surface. High-quality materials prevent movement and provide the best base for a concrete slab.
