Full details

FAQs
What type of surface can I install the QuickJack Shed Base Kit on?
This kit is designed specifically for hard surfaces such as concrete slabs, patios, or paved areas. It is not suitable for installation directly on grass, soil, or gravel.
How much levelling can the adjustable feet provide?
The adjustable steel feet can provide up to 80mm of levelling, allowing you to create a perfectly flat base even on slightly uneven hard surfaces.
Does the kit include everything needed for installation?
Yes, the kit includes the QuickJacks with integrated corner and inline brackets, as well as all necessary screws for assembling the base structure.
What is the warranty period for the QuickJack Shed Base Kit?
The kit is backed by a 10-year guarantee, ensuring its durability and performance.
Can I use this kit for larger structures like garages?
No, this kit is designed for lightweight garden buildings, sheds, and decking. It is not intended for supporting heavier structures like garages or substantial outbuildings.
How do I attach my shed's timber frame to the QuickJack system?
The kit includes corner and inline brackets. You will lay your timber joists onto these brackets and secure them using the provided screws.
What are the dimensions of the base this kit creates?
This specific kit is designed to create a shed base measuring 10ft x 7ft.
Troubleshooting
The base feels unstable.
Ensure all adjustable steel feet are properly tightened and making firm contact with the hard surface. Double-check that all brackets and screws are securely fastened.
Difficulty achieving a level base.
Use a long spirit level across multiple QuickJacks. Adjust the feet incrementally, ensuring one side is consistently level before moving to the other. The adjustable feet allow for significant adjustment.
Screws will not tighten securely.
Ensure you are using the correct screws provided in the kit and that they are aligned properly with the timber joists and brackets. Do not overtighten, which can strip the wood.
Rust appears on the steel feet.
This is typically cosmetic. Ensure the area is dry. For prolonged protection, you can apply a metal protector spray, though it is not essential for functionality.
