Garden Shed base

Now this is the important question, why do I need one of these ground bases, sure I can put my new Garden shed base on anything, can’t I? The answer quite simply is absolutely not. The key to any new building (and that doesn’t matter if it’s wood or brick) is to have the right foundations down right from the start.

So let’s start with grass! Why can’t I just place my new wooden Garden shed base on grass? Well, there are loads of reasons for this. Firstly, I don’t care if you have the best roller in the world, there is no way that you’re going to get that grass completely level and flat, even if you did it would not stay that way, it would start to sink. By having your new wooden shed on grass, there would be huge moisture transfer issues from the ground to the building which would cause premature rotting of your shed. It wouldn’t matter if you painted it every week, it would rot from the ground up. Also, no building we supply could be installed on uneven ground.

Everything on these buildings has to be square so the buildings can be joined together properly, by the floor not being even this would never be accomplished and it just wouldn’t be possible to install the building correctly. Also, let’s say for one minute that the grass was completely level, do you think it would stay that way? This obviously leads to an unexpectedly short lifespan for your new wooden Garden Shed base. The answer again is no, it would sink. Then once the ground started to sink, the building would sink with it. Now I don’t mean it will disappear below the ground like something out of a sci-fi film, what I mean is that it will start to bend the structure. What do you think will happen once that structure starts to bend? You’ve got it, the building will start to warp and split..It could also make the building unsafe. It could fall down, possibly with you in it. So the grass is a massive no.

Soil or loose ground is also another massive no and the reasons for this are exactly the same as what they are above.

So we now know that your new wooden shed cannot be built on grass, soil or mud. So let’s look at paving slabs (or crazy paving as we like to call it). Now paving slabs are absolutely fine as long as they are laid correctly. They’re solid, flat, level and the cover the area of your new garden shed but if they’re not you can just forget about it. Check your paving slabs, see if they are flat and level, make sure they are solid in the ground and there is little to no movement in them when you stand on them. We have turned up to install jobs and had to cancel the install until the customer rectifies the problem or decide to have a base from us because Garden shed base on wonky paving is a no-no.
