The MItre10 how-to videos are the best. They're clear and concise and, above all, I come away having found what I was looking for. So many other videos out there waste my time droning on and on about stuff I couldn't care about.

Great video. Covered all of the points I was looking for. Thanks!

these are prob the best diy videos out there..

thank you for taking the time explaining it slowly and making the video.

Best concrete vid I seen thus far 💯💯💯

Hello from England. I love these videos, really practical and helpful. Thanks!

Always informative and practical projects. Thanks!!

THIS GUY IS BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS !!!!! DON'T PREFER TO WATCH ANYONE BUT HIM !!! KIWIS ARE AWESOME IN THEIR TUTORIAL !!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Awsome...No nonsense. Very informative. Thank you. :)

nice and easy explain, any one can follow your instructions, Great Job mate. thank you.

I would highly recommend having the slab height above the existing ground to prevent groundwater from running in under the shed bottom to keep everything inside dry. I also recommend using a edging trowel and run around all 4 sides to neaten the slab before the concrete dries.

Very good and simple instructions

Rebate explained super well. ✅

Kiwi accent always makes me smile, god bless em.

Great guide - well explained and shot

spot on instructions...thanks

Came to comments , to check the man-splaining critiques, to see if there was some improvement potential. Nothing!! (That's rare.)This is great. Very straight forward video. Thanks, Mate! (Mite? -NZ))

Really excellent job.

His SHID will be class.

Good job my friend . buen trabajo mi amigo. Eatoy aprendiendo con tus videos

You are so great, thank you for your show.

Awesome video. As always.

Great video.Thank you

Great video

Thanks great video.

great video

i think he is great and very easy to understand

Very good summary video. I really don't like how the ground is very sloped which makes the concrete slab looks unlevelled (but I know it is).

thank u very much sir.

Good video mate

pretty good video

Boom. Great video. Like it a lot.

Amazing

Thanks mate

Thanks

👍nice job!

Don't forget to leave the nails and screws on the lawn for the mower to collect.

Really good job ! Just seem like it would fill up with water , but different places may drain differently, in south Louisiana, that puppy will be flooded in no time ,

Fantastic thank you..

Spot on

Good job

COOL!

Best vid so far, now im gonna go get some fush n chups.....

Great job, and yes, love the "shid" accent, though not as much as that watch. Surely not the usual beater, Regardless, great vid... Even better watch though! From a watch lover!!

Fun stuff

Nice 👍

And the comments do not fail to make me laugh. Awesome lol

Hi, are you using ready mix concrete?

Thanks - any particular depth of sand ? Sand and base-course is 75 mm - it looks like 25mm sand and 50mm base-course. Is the ratio important ?

Class wee video NZ Irish does the same 👌👍🤘🍻

So the rebate can be used to fill in for a rain pitch?

2:10 shovel any unnecessary soil etc into next doors garden 😏🤣

Does the type of soil change how you build your slab?

My rebate needed to be 70mm. Ensure you really work the concrete up underneath. (Mine ended up rounded off a little on the outer edge) Otherwise, great video! 👍

822 thumbs down? Why though? This vid is great

ANOTHER GREAT JOB !! I am not a fan of the Metric System lol but the instructions were 'spot on'......

I from Australia and New Zealand

Top vid

*Big like !* 😆🙄😎🖒

Is the rebate for 3 or 4 sides?

I'm from the USA. You guys don't have duplex nails down there?

Informative and too the point. Thanks for making a great guide. I like the rebate idea - you just want to be perfectly sure your shed will fit over it! (Since this is aimed at the DIY person, maybe it's worth building your shed first to get perfect measurements)? Also, in Australia we have a "concrete taxi" which is a truck that will mix your desired volume of concrete on site. No hiring mixers and lugging around bags of sand and concrete. Just wheel barrow it in as he makes it! No waste and no cleanup ;) might be worth a look for some people?

You will get damp on back corner of shed where ground slopes

I've read conflicting stuff online about moisture barriers. Some claiming pouring concrete onto it will not let it cure properly, causing the water to rise to top rather than draining through the basecourse. I'm not sure whether I should use it on my driveway?

Oops I thought I was at Bunnings but this works too

lmao the whole time it sounded like he was saying shit..would make a good drinking game

0:39 "Just leave your nail sticking out a little way, when we take the boxing off it's gonna make it nice and easy". 0:45 Hammer it home son! Good work though, honestly I think these vids are good value. Keep it up Mitre10!

Boxing is piged in place ?

Can I build a small house using the same concept?

how did you finish around this? its below grade

Benjamin Moore Advance Paint

Why’s it so slanted 👀

I see you used mesh. Could you use old fence instead? I have some old farm fence. Does rust on the mesh matter?

Why are we fixing pigs to the boxing? 🐷📦?... 1:58

Wouldn't you need some sort of water course around that slab, considering it is below ground level at one end? I'm no expert, but that set up seemed wonky.

I needed subtitles, easy as

why did he put polythelyne?

This guy should show the real men who do the work.

Any chance anyone can tell me if he used a trencher?

It doesn't look level but i know that's probably the lawn... He's great

A hack idea i wanted some opinions on ... i have a remote property where the soil filters into a soft powdery sand. I'd like to make 24x24x6 deep pavers i can drive over but want to bring in the minimal amount of materials and Id like to mix each paver with a drill in place into a reusable plastic oil coated form. For reinforcement something in bags i can throw in and mix like some fiber. Think this will work? What's a good mix ratio if using portland cement? Any way to manually add some air to the pavers and make them even thicker? I was also thinking of manually compacting the base and adding a polymer to harded the base before it before mixing the cement over it. The form will have slightly rounded corners and i plan to cut out an aggressive bevel.

Ok perfetto

Thanks for the informative video - i was wondering why is it necessary to cover the soil with gravel and sand, then cover it plastic surface? Is the gravel and sand still necessary when plastic covering would be sufficient? Any feed back would be appreciate it.

What is the base comprised of? It looks like ash and gravel or similar.

Doesnt matter how far you dug in, your boxing at 100mm high is sitting directly on the dirt. Then you add basefill, then sand, polythene and on top, the concrete. All this you say is 175mm which is higher than your boxing. How so? Although its not shown this way, do you sit the boxing on the base course?

How many cement bags used and how many times you fill the mixer?? About give approx accurate figures.

I will be laying a concrete slab (2 inches deth) on an existing concrete slab to level the surface. Do I need to put a mesh wire? Your comments is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Not worried rain water will pool in that low area?

how many DIY people nail there boxing together then measure it and go 'yup spot on'..

By the way a couple of more questions: What is the standard strength of typical concrete mix, is it 3,000 PSI? And, when is reinforced steel bars used instead of wire mesh? Thanks again.

don't forget to take the screws out of the pigs

When you take the boards out what stops the gravel falling away?

How can you have 75mm base coarse and sand inside the boxing , then 75mm of concrete poured, but have only 100mm high boxing?

What about the rain. Does using wood a good option keeping in mind rain.

If you want the shed to be above ground, do you need to dig?

Was the pad level? Or is it just me ?

Is it not lob sided lol?

Is this the same way to do footing, and cement floor for a garage?
