Thanks so much for such a detailed reply, i'm really considering it as an option now. my concern with any of these foundation options is how high from current ground level the front end of the area is. Something I am considering is digging down at the back end (the right on picture) and building a small retaining wall as to naturally level off the area a little more.

Interestingly I found his channel today, very informative!

I have started looking at this as an option. How much was it to hire the screw machine? Also roughly all-in cost per screw?

Thanks so much for the information, very informative. I'll take a proper look at the article over a cup of coffee this morning.

Thanks for the reply, it's going to be timber frame.

Hi All, I'm planning on building a garden room / workshop on our old veg patch next year and first thing I need to tackle is the foundations. I've attached some pictures of the area below, we're looking at something around 4m wide by 6m long. As you can see the area is on a decline, I have put a rough level on so you can see this. My debate is what kind of foundations would work best for this project, so any suggestions would be greatly welcomed. I've been looking at a steel bar / square plate pile foundation similar to that used by Oakwood garden rooms on Youtube but I'm sure there are plenty of viable options out there. Thanks, G.
