Hi
I have been left in the lurch with a concrete shed base that is not level. Can anyone tell me a simple way of rectifying this?
I thought I may be able to put boards all the way round which are level and back fill with concrete over the entire base. Is there any reason I can not do this and if i can do this how deep would the concrete have to be at its thinnest point? I really do not want to dig the old concrete base up and any suggestions welcome.
thks

Welcome to the forums.
Don't try pouring new concrete over the old. It won't last.
You're least expensive option would be to tear out the existing slab and pour a new one.
The other option would be to find a concrete contractor who does mudjacking and have him level it for you.
