Damp Proof Membrane

Post by yogs »

Hi All,

I was after some advice as I am in the process of building a shed.

Can I use Weed Membrane as Damp proof Membrane. (Putting this in between the hardcore and concrete.)

I only ask is I have a lot left and no other use for this.

Thanks

Yogs

No, weed control membrane, is normally not waterproof as it is designed to let the water drain through it :wink:
