Plastic Grid vs Concrete Base for Log Cabin | Which Is Best?

Why choose a plastic grid base instead of a concrete slab for a log cabin? In my last video I showed the full build of this plastic grid log cabin base, but I didn’t properly explain WHY I chose this method over a concrete base. A lot of people asked the same question, so this video is the full explanation. This is not theory. This is based on an actual DIY log cabin base build using MOT Type 1, granite dust, sharp sand and a plastic grid system. If you’re deciding between a concrete slab or a plastic grid base for a log cabin, shed or garden room, this video breaks down the key differences in: • Drainage and ground movement • Cost and installation difficulty • Access issues (long gardens, no lorry access) • Solo build vs hiring a crew • Long term performance in UK weather I explain exactly why a concrete base was NOT practical for my situation and why a plastic grid system made more sense for this build. This video works alongside the full step by step build where I show how to build a log cabin base from start to finish using plastic grids. If you’re planning a log cabin, shed or workshop base, this will help you make the right decision before you start. #logcabinbase #shedbase #diy #plasticgrid #concretebase
