Product Information

Full details

The Swift Leveller Mini Adjustable Shed Base Support is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to establish a stable, level foundation for sheds, greenhouses, and summerhouses on hard surfaces like patios or existing concrete slabs. By offering an efficient alternative to traditional groundworks, these supports eliminate the need for digging or pouring concrete; however, they are specifically engineered for hard ground surfaces and are not suitable for soft or uneven soil applications without additional stabilization.

FAQs

Can I use these on grass?

No, these are designed for hard surfaces like concrete or patios. Using them on soft soil may cause them to sink under the weight of the structure.

What is the maximum adjustment range?

The supports offer a height adjustment range between 50mm and 70mm.

Are these supports weather-resistant?

Yes, they are manufactured from high-quality steel with a corrosion-resistant finish suitable for outdoor use.

Do I need to bolt these to the patio?

No, the design is intended for non-permanent installation and does not require bolting to the ground.

Can I reuse the supports if I move my shed?

Yes, the supports are fully reusable and can be easily dismantled and reinstalled at a new location.

Troubleshooting

Support feels wobbly after adjustment

Ensure the lock-nut mechanism is tightened securely against the base and verify that the support is resting flat on the ground surface.

Difficulty rotating the adjustment column

Clean any grit or dust from the threaded section and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the threads.

Structure is still not level

Check that the joists themselves are not bowed; if the structure is large, ensure you have used enough supports along the span to prevent sagging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming concrete pours.
  • Fully reusable and easy to dismantle for relocation.
  • High weight capacity supports substantial garden structures.
  • Protects wooden joists from moisture and ground-level decay.
  • Simple adjustment mechanism for quick DIY installation.

Cons

  • Not suitable for direct placement on soft soil or grass.
  • Height adjustment is limited to a 20mm range (50-70mm).
  • Requires a relatively flat starting surface to ensure stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires only a spirit level and basic hand tools. Begin by laying out your timber frame on the patio, then position the supports at all corners and along the mid-span of your joists. Use a spirit level to determine the height required for each point and adjust the central steel column accordingly. No bolting to the ground is required, though you should ensure the supports are placed on a solid, non-yielding surface. For long-term care, periodically inspect the threads for debris and ensure they remain lubricated to facilitate future adjustments. In areas of extreme moisture, a quick check for surface scratches on the black finish is recommended; touch up any exposed metal with exterior-grade paint to maintain corrosion resistance.
