Product Information

Using a shed base can extend the life of your shed by protecting it from damp and subsidence. Having invested several hundred pounds in a new shed, it’s worth making sure that it will last as long as possible – so don’t skimp on the base! This weed membrane will also stop weeds and grass from growing in this area, which is highly beneficial. If weeds and grass grow under the shed, this will make the area damp which can ultimately cause rotting, rusting, or other damage. Measuring for Your Shed Base A perfect example of this are the shed base kits made by Arrow Sheds for their sheds. These kits contain all of the HDG steel frame pieces needed to build the base along with the required hardware.

Most plastic shed bases are made from recycled plastics that can be fully recycled once you are finished with it. These plastics are very eco-friendly and made to last for many years without rotting. EcoBase have a 10-year guarantee and these reusable grid tiles are lightweight and easy to handle, costing a fraction of the price of a traditional concrete base.

Seeing as the shed will sit on top of gravel, any water will easily drain away from the structure. Therefore, a wooden base is pretty good at stopping damp or rot becoming an issue in your shed. A wooden frame offers good drainage and is relatively environmentally friendly (just make sure the wood is responsibly sourced and FSC approved). Whilst not as easy to put together as a plastic base, wooden frames can still be assembled by most people with basic DIY skills. One thing to keep in mind is that even if your base is slightly off kilter, you can always use thin strips of wood between it and your shed walls to adjust things for a perfect fit. My Plastic Shed has a Floor This might be the first you’ve heard of this particular type of base, but it’s been gaining a lot of ground recently, if you’ll excuse the pun. More and more people are discovering that it actually makes a smart alternative for concrete or wood – and it’s easy to use and lay too. Good advantages to using a plastic shed base To increase the life of your shed, it’s important to lay a weed membrane under the base. As you may guessed from its name, this permeable membrane stops weeds growing under and around your shed. 4. Lay down the shed base kit

This will help avoid contributing to the creation of new plastics. It’s generally recommended that you fill the grid with gravel for added structural reinforcement. Additionally, with plastic grids, it’s important to make sure the plastic is UV stabilised to stop it from going brittle .
