	little trench around the 3 walls filled with gravel may help, about a shovel deep/wide should do, its what i've done in the past to properties with surface water problems affecting brickwork. (i'm an inspector for local council housing, used to be on the tools, bricky) guttering/surface water going into drains or a soakaway ? any chance of water running under the door ? along drive towards the building ? extra drainage (surface drain) might be a good idea. did you put steel reinforcement in the base ? any questions about asbestos feel free to ask, i've had training in handling of the stuff and removal/transport/disposal experience, happy to help out anyone locally to keep things safe. (works h+s officer is in neighbouring office too)

	Has got a 6" trench around 3 sides which is to be filled with wood chips, it sits higher than all the rest of the garden and driveway. No gutters fitted yet but they will divert water to the garden . After a day of rain here the base is dry the roof seems to have diverted all water away .

	Nice looking, impressed with how quickly it went up. Presume was a very well made product? We bought a climbing frame from a local company and took hours as was so poorly cut.
