Extended Product Information

FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need a screwdriver or drill, a level (recommended), and potentially some shims if your ground isn't perfectly level.

Can I put the shed base directly on the grass?

While the pressure treatment makes it suitable for ground contact, it's recommended to use a heavy-duty weed membrane underneath if placing it directly on grass.

What is the timber treated with?

The timber is UC4 pressure treated, protecting it from rot and making it suitable for ground contact.

What is the guarantee?

The base comes with a 15-year guarantee against rot.

What are the dimensions of the base?

The overall dimensions are H7.5 x W236 x D182.6cm.

Is the timber from a sustainable source?

Yes, the timber is certified as sourced from environmentally responsible and sustainable sources.

Can I use this base with other shed brands?

No, it is specifically designed for Forest Garden 8x6 ft Overlap and Shiplap sheds.

Troubleshooting

The shed base doesn't seem level.

Check the ground underneath. You may need to add shims or adjust the base slightly to achieve a level surface.

The screws aren't going in easily.

Pre-drill pilot holes to make screwing easier, especially with softwood.

The base seems unstable.

Ensure all sections are properly screwed together. Check the ground for any soft spots that might need reinforcing.
