Where we started
The brief
Jamie wanted secure bike storage in the front garden in Richmond and had already bought a metal bike store. It needed a firm, level base to stand on and fixing in place properly.
A concrete base gives a bike store or shed a flat, solid footing that will not sink or shift, which keeps the doors lining up and the store secure. It is the same base we lay for shed bases in Richmond.
