I'll be using normal concrete blocks (440x215x100mm) the query i have is how deep should the foundations be. the ground type is muddy clay (!) as you start to go down. i've read somewhere the width of the foundation strip should be double the width of the block (i.e 200 mm), but the depth eludes me .. I�m relocating a small garden building at home � it�s about 6m x 3m. current construction consists of two rows of concrete blocks on the foundations, then wooden stud walls and an asbestos roof..
