Materials Needed

There are a number of materials required to install a Plastic Shed Base when following our recommended method. From our website you can buy the following; a Plastic Shed Base (from 1 panel to 1,000,000 Panels), Geo-Textile Membrane, Membrane U-Pins, and Shed Base Anchors. We also provide Non-Slip Rubber Shed Flooring Tiles should you want a walkway by your shed.

From any good builders merchant, you can buy these materials; Angular gravel or crushed aggregate which is used to create a sub-base. Decorative gravel is used to fill the shed base once it has been laid. Sharp sand is used to level off the sub-base to make sure the base will be stood on level ground.

How to Build a

Plastic Shed Base Preparing The Ground, Ground preparation is a crucial part of installing a plastic shed base, without the correct preparation the benefits such as permeability will not be as effective. So, first of all, you need to decide where your shed will be going on your garden or allotment. Once you have decided, measure out the base and outline this in the turf.

Next, remove the existing turf and soil from within the outlined area down to a depth of around 70mm and dispose of the waste responsibly. Digging down to 70mm allows for the base to sit flush with remaining turf once the installation is complete. With the area now clear, lay down the sheet of the membrane and secure it into the ground using the provided metal pins. The membrane is used to stop weeds from growing up through the base but still allows water to drain away naturally.

Finally, on top of the secured membrane, a bedding layer of between 5mm-20mm angular gravel or crushed aggregate approximately 30mm deep needs to be laid and compacted down very well to ensure the surface is level and hard. If the sub-base needs a little more material to level it out then we suggest using some sharp sand. With the plastic shed base installed, fill all of the panels with suitable angular gravel or angular aggregate which will create a solid and flat surface on which to stand your shed or other garden building.
