BEFORE YOU START
.
BASE PREPARATION
It is vital that you build your new shed on a solid, level base. Timber or plastic bases are ideal, as are concrete slabs
or solid concrete.

Concrete

eco-friendly base
Broken Slabs/Gaps
Uneven slab sizes
with no cement
Soil
A base of soil or
grass only
If you have an existing base and think it’s suitable for your new shed to be sited on, it is important you check that it is
level and doesn’t deviate by any more than 15mm from edge to edge. If this is not the case, the building will twist, causing
gaps to appear in the sections and causing the roof, doors and windows to misalign.
