stopping water flow across concrete floor

[Stubby]

If its running down the outside wall why not put a gutter at roof height like any other building ? or am I missing something ?

what about the rain hitting the wall under guttering?

OK but it would be a start and would stop a large percentage of it me think !

build up the inside of it with concrete cheap as chips

 

 

 

Could you not just put 2" of concrete inside tin all the way round, 2" high and 2" wide or as wide as you like

 

 

Simple, cheap!

Good idea to put a concrete fillet around, BUT, the OP hinted that the floor has been painted.

 

The concrete wont stick to the paint (I have tried!), so it will need removing first.

Well spotted!

A blast with a sanding disc and a coat of pva just before laying cement!

Hi, would it not be simple to cut away the protruding bit of the slab, a diamond disc on a grinder should eat concrete, assuming you can get access, crosshatch it and chip it off with a chisel, give it a skim of render if it`s got to look good, that`s got to be the cheapest option. cheers

Thanks for all the suggestions guys - I managed to get hold of some uber sealant so I've tried that for the short term and seems to have worked for now. It wont last forever but Ive had so much on the 'quick fix' has had to do.

 

I was worried that the concrete fillet might be porous enough to allow some water through, I think the best idea might be cutting a slant into the plinth, I had thought of it but discounted it as I thought it likely I'd make a mess of it - but I hadn't thought of a render finish to tidy - so might give this a go in the summer.

 

Thanks again

Cutting a slant would be good, I don't know what the dimensions of your shed are but cutting concrete will be no easy task! Unless of course, shed is 8' square:)

Add waterproofer to cement, it'll be a lot less heartache than cutting!
