Shed base spikes - other alternative?!

suisidevw

Hi there,

I'm going to put a shed on my allotment and it's going to have a timber base made out of timber I've got left over from a building project (treated).

In order to drive down into the soil below, I'm after some shed spikes as per the link below but find £37 for this astronomical! Is there anything else I should be looking for that would suit in the building trade etc?

These just screw into the frame and then I drive them in until level etc. I will lay DPM under frame

Any assistance appreciated, thanks :beer:

Thanks, maybe it isn't but I don't know if there are other products that essentially will do the same thing (like galvanised holding down straps etc)

Thanks, It's the base that I want to be sturdy and level so it'll need to be drilled to the frame as opposed to resting in.
