FAQs

Do I need to use gravel with this base kit?

No, the ProBase grids feature load-spreading feet on the underside, which means gravel is not required for installation and stability.

What is the material of the grids?

The grids are made from 100% recycled plastic, designed to be robust and heavy-duty.

How many grids are included in the 7x7ft kit?

The 7x7ft kit includes 25 grids.

Can this base be used for a plastic shed?

Yes, this base is suitable for various garden buildings, including timber sheds, plastic sheds, workshops, summerhouses, and log cabins.

What is the load capacity of each grid?

Each grid can support over 50 tonnes of vertical load without gravel and has been tested to withstand over 175 tonnes per grid with gravel infill.

Is the weed membrane included and pre-cut?

Yes, each kit comes with a heavy-duty, weed-resistant membrane that is pre-cut to size for convenience.

What are the dimensions of a single grid?

Each grid measures 500mm x 500mm from wall to wall.

Troubleshooting

Grids are difficult to interlock.

Ensure the ground is level and clear of any obstructions. Try slightly angling one grid into another before pushing them together.

Base feels uneven after installation.

The ground beneath the base may not have been sufficiently leveled. Remove the grids, re-level the ground, and reinstall the base.

Weeds are growing through the membrane.

Ensure the membrane is fully intact and covers the entire base area without gaps. Overlap any seams generously and check for damage.

Base seems to be shifting.

Verify that the load capacity is not exceeded. Ensure the ground is firm and that the interlocking connections between grids are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clear and level the intended area for the base.
  2. Lay the heavy-duty weed-resistant membrane over the cleared ground.
  3. Begin interlocking the ProBase grids together, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Continue until the desired 7x7ft area is covered.
