On my old shed I had the concrete purred up the the colorbond wall and even and a narrow strip around the outside so effectively sealing the shed as the bottom edge of the wall sheet was buried in the concrete.

That was good and bad. After 15 years or so there was a bit of rust appearing on the bottom of the wall sheeting from where the moisture collected. This got me to thinking what If I needed to replace a sheet?

On the new shed I had the slab poured inside again but the shed supplier had this neat plastic strip that attached to the bottom of the cladding. The concrete flowed under the strip sealing it in place but the cladding can be unscrewed and replaced if needed as it attaches to the plastic strip not the concrete. Makes for a neat bottom edge to the wall.

I've got to replace two sheets of wall cladding as I tagged them with the bucket on the tractor as I was driving along side it.

Cheers
