Product Information
Full details
The QuickJack Shed Base Kit is designed for homeowners looking to create a stable, moisture-free foundation for their garden sheds and decking on hard surfaces. Its key benefit is providing an easily adjustable and durable base that elevates structures off the ground. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for hard surfaces.

What kind of surfaces can this kit be used on?
This kit is specifically engineered for use on hard, level surfaces such as concrete, paving slabs, patios, or tarmac.

What is included in the kit?
The kit includes QuickJacks, both corner and inline brackets, and all necessary screws for assembly.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The QuickJack Shed Base Kit comes with a 10-year guarantee.
Do I need to dig into the ground?
No, this kit is designed to sit on top of an existing hard surface, making it ideal for areas where digging is not possible or desired.
Troubleshooting
Uneven base after installation
Re-adjust the steel feet on each QuickJack using a spirit level until the entire base is perfectly level.
Structure feels unstable
Ensure all QuickJacks are correctly positioned and fully adjusted for level. Verify that all brackets are securely fastened to the QuickJacks and the timber frame is firmly attached to the brackets.
Difficulty attaching timber frame
Confirm you are using the correct inline or corner brackets for the position. Ensure screws are driven straight and securely into the timber.
