Im building a home cinema in my garden lol.
Its gona be 4 metres wide by 5 metres long.
My idea for this was to build basically a fancy shed on top of a concrete slab base.
Im unsure of 1 thing.the damp proof course and membrane.
so I am planning to dig a trench about 6 inches wider than the shed ( ie,4 m 6 in on one side and 5m 6 in on the other,its gona be about 6 inches of hardcore,with an inch of sand on top of that.
On top of that I was going to lay a damp proof membrane and then put kingspan insulation and wire mesh on top of that.
Then fill with concrete ,so should have about 5 inches of concrete in total,with insulation and mesh taking up the middle.
what exactly do I do with the damp proof membrane then,at this stage it will be sticking up from around the concrete slab?
do I fold it back around and lay a course of blocks on top of it or just cut it off?
also are these plans ok?
