Serving the Sunshine Coast from Caboolture to Gympie

Shed Slabs & Footings Sunshine Coast

Solid Foundations for Your Outbuildings

A shed is only as good as what it sits on. I'm Adam Sutton, and I've been pouring shed slabs across the Sunshine Coast for over 17 years, from small garden sheds to large farm buildings.

Whether you’re setting up a kit shed, a workshop, or a machinery shed, I make sure the slab is built right, meets the specs, and can handle the load long term. QBCC licensed, fully insured, and done properly from the start.

Slabs for Every Outbuilding

No matter what you’re building, the right slab is key to making sure it performs properly and lasts for years.

Protection from Staining

Sealed concrete resists oil, grease, food, and drink stains. Spills stay on the surface rather than penetrating the concrete, making cleanup easy.

UV Protection

Queensland sun is brutal on concrete. UV exposure fades colours and degrades surfaces over time. Quality sealers include UV blockers that protect your concrete's appearance.

Water Resistance

Sealing prevents water penetration that can cause cracking, spalling, and mould growth. Essential for pool surrounds and areas exposed to weather.

Enhanced Appearance

Sealers enhance the natural colour of concrete and decorative finishes. Exposed aggregate, coloured concrete, and honed finishes all look better sealed.

Easier Maintenance

Sealed concrete is easier to clean. Dirt and debris don't penetrate the surface, so regular hosing or pressure washing keeps surfaces looking fresh.

Extended Lifespan

By protecting against the elements, sealing extends the useful life of your concrete surfaces - protecting your investment for years longer.

Slabs for Every Outbuilding

No matter what you’re building, the right slab is key to making sure it performs properly and lasts for years.

Typical sizes: 3x3m to 6x6m

Penetrating Sealers

Penetrating sealers absorb into the concrete, providing protection from within without changing the surface appearance or sheen. Ideal for natural-look applications.

Typical sizes: 6x6m to 10x8m

Workshop Slabs

Workshops usually carry heavy benches, tools, and machinery. I build slabs to handle the load, with the right thickness and reinforcement for how you plan to use the space.

Typical sizes: 10x10m and larger

Farm Shed & Machinery Slabs

Larger rural properties need substantial slabs for machinery sheds, hay storage, and agricultural buildings. I've poured farm shed slabs across the Sunshine Coast hinterland and Gympie regions.

Carport & Garage Slabs

Carports and garages need a solid base that works with your driveway and access. I make sure everything lines up properly and performs as it should.

How It All Works

A solid shed slab comes down to doing things properly from the start. Here’s what you can expect along the way:

Site Assessment

I visit your property to assess the site, review your shed specifications, and check any ground conditions, access requirements, or slope considerations that affect the build.

Detailed Quote

Based on the site and your shed plans, I provide a clear quote covering excavation, formwork, reinforcement, concrete, and finishing. No hidden costs.

Site Preparation

Preparation includes excavation, levelling, compacting the base, and placing reinforcement to suit the specs. This step is key to a strong, crack-resistant slab.

Formwork

Boxing is set to your specified dimensions, ensuring square corners and level edges. I verify alignment before any concrete is poured.

Pour & Finish

Concrete is poured and finished with an appropriate surface (typically broom finish for sheds). I make sure levels and falls are right for proper drainage.

Curing & Handover

I guide you on curing times before building your shed. Most kit sheds can go up after 7 days, depending on conditions and slab size.

Getting the

Specifications Right

Thickness

Garden sheds: 75-100mm typically sufficient
Workshops with light equipment: 100mm
Heavy workshops/farm sheds: 100-150mm depending on loads
Vehicle-rated slabs: 100-150mm with appropriate reinforcement

Reinforcement

Small sheds: SL72 or SL82 mesh
Larger sheds: SL82 or higher-rated mesh
Heavy-use areas: May require rebar reinforcement

Edge Details

Thickened edges for post supports
Integration with post footings where required
Appropriate edge form for shed installation

Based on your shed specifications and intended use, I'll recommend appropriate thickness, reinforcement, and edge details. No guesswork - proper engineering for your specific project.

I service shed slab projects from Caboolture to Gympie, including rural and acreage properties in the hinterland.

Common Questions

About Shed Slabs

How thick should my shed slab be?

It depends on your shed size and intended use. Garden sheds typically need 75–100mm, while workshops and farm sheds may need 100–150mm. I'll recommend the right thickness based on your plans.

Do I need council approval for a shed slab?

It depends on your shed size and local zoning rules. Smaller sheds are often exempt, but it’s always best to check. I can also guide you based on what’s typical in your area.

How long before I can erect my shed?

Most kit sheds can be erected after 7 days of curing. Larger or structural buildings may require longer curing. I'll advise based on your specific project.

Can you work on sloping sites?

Yes. Sloping sites may need extra excavation or retaining to get things level. I’ll assess this during the site visit and include anything required in your quote.

Do I need footings as well as a slab?

Many sheds only require a slab, but larger structures often need additional footings. I’ll advise based on your shed manufacturer’s specifications.
