Thinking of doing the same - I have a 9m x 2.5m pad. Good to see using the base is ok, as well as going to 3m and putting a few rods into the ground as well will be fine.
Been thinking about augering the garden and filling the 10 inch holes with concrete and using rods like you to save on a base Thinking of a large shed on scaffold planks hooked in a frame with the rods. I like what you have done.
Question if you can help. Where do you take your 2.5m from for height? I have 2.5m on one side, level with my house level and another side at 3.1m to ground due the how much the garden falls away. Is that considered at 2.5m high or 3.1m? Thanks in advance
I realise not applicable in this case, but EasyPad now seem to be more affordable than the rod system and simpler setup. An EasyPad 3x3 kit is £380 currently. Did you consider pads at any point prior to settling on using your proven rod technique? Great channel though.
Great stuff, your videos are really helpful. I have a fall of around 1m for the one I'm planning, is that borderline for the rods? It will be used as a gym
depends on what sort of exercise you will be doing. If you are lifting and dropping heavy weights I would go for concrete. A suspended floor would probably be fine for light weights and static machines but keep the joist spacing narrow.
Ah - thank you! So there’s no such thing as a kit that includes all the square bases, nuts and square holders that you rest the wood on? You are putting together your own kit from the various stuff that bapp sells? Would be nice if u had a video or link to the actual parts - or even sold them yourselves. But I guess every job is different and requires different parts 😮
Just shows how versatile the rod system is. Great vid Liam
Always a way to find best solutions.!!! Great work Liam and team. Loving that band saw too 💪
Great catching up Liam, Hope lots more vids are on there way bro, Miss ya Man, Chris
Chem fixings are amazing when put in correct. 👍
Just like to say thanks for the great videos, it's given me the minerals to do a build myself and your videos have helped alot, do thank you.
Good to see Jen again albeit just one hand and a couple of knee caps 🤣
@@jenniebulmer2181 No problem, you deserve more air time! I may start a petition! 🤣
@@jenniebulmer2181 Well everybody knows that the real talent is always behind the camera anyway so you are perhaps wise! Just don't become invisible!
I used your rod system for my shed/workshop works well!
I'm doing the same - did you bother insulating? Kingspan etc.
Excellent explanation of the system! Thanks. 👍👍

I don’t know why, but the young guy made me smile! 😊😊😊

but the end result looks very very good
We miss you guys!

Great videos, learning so much. Does anyone know where I can go to get the rods inc shoes from?
Going to do decking with the frame on bars, should I use 8.8 grade or can I use 4.8 M24. Great videos!!
4.8 is fine
Any links on where to buy this system??
Also what spacing would be needed?
How do you stop vermin getting under in to the floor insulation?
What's the life expectancy of the rods ?
I love this system but how long do these threaded rods last in real time?
Me, you and Everyone else watching this will be long gone when they are still standing
@@thegardenroomguru I was guessing maybe 50+years ?
Hi Liam where do you get the shoes for the rods from ? What company🤔
Bapps 👍🏼
Cheers pal 😂

It’s taken from he highest point of land next to the building mate
@oakwoodgardenrooms thanks for the reply mate, good videos as well.
What did you use to drill the 28mm holes in the concrete? Just a regular SDS drill or something special?
Just a regular sds mate

That bandsaw the bollocks
Where do you have the shoes for the rods fabricated Liam?
Bapps bolts sell the lot mate
@@thegardenroomguru That's great thanks Liam. Great work on the charity mate.
Could you let me know what diameter of threaded rod you chose for this project please?
M24 8.8 galvanised 👌
Where does one purchase these rods of which he speaks?
🤣🤣one would go to ye olde English ye Google and search Bapps for bolts mate, they sell the full kit

@BigBlueRabbit I love your 1st comment.
My whole TH-cam shows you how to build it, I sell a build pack
But I love your old English style
I see you are correct! - I’m perusing your previous, very detailed videos at this very moment! Thanks for this great, video resource :-)

Would those longer 1.5 M rods have any chance of bending under compression?
It’s only a side wall and that end will be a store, so not much weight on them at all
If you where really worried you could put in some rebar and with some shuttering cast them as concrete pillars.
👍👍👍
