A1 Sheds first developed this shed base back in the 1980's in order to create a low cost, simple, fast and effective solution for gardens with uneven or mixed surfaces.
Nowadays, this timber shed base is also known as an Air - Tech Base, Pin-Base, Porta - Base, Power - Base etc. however the basic design remains the same. The ground below doesn't need to be level either, therefore the A1 BaseKIT can be fitted onto gently sloping ground (max.
12"), uneven ground, and mixed surfaces if required, all you need is an area clear of any movable obstacles or shrubs. Please note that the design of the A1Base - Kit, the quantity of pegs, and their positions will vary depending on the size of building, and type of ground.

Limitations While timber-framed bases are typically a reliable and cost-effective option, the softer ground commonly found in new-build estates may not provide sufficient support. The ground conditions on many new-build estates can often be soft or boggy due to the way these sites are developed, and these conditions can impact the stability and long-term durability of timber-framed bases used for sheds or other garden structures.
Over time, this could lead to issues such as: Uneven settlement or sinking of the base. Structural instability of the shed or garden building. Increased wear and tear on the building due to improper levelling.
IMPORTANT: Our assembly service is only available for slopes with a maximum drop of 30cm across the floor area of your building. Alternatively a return visit can be arranged, however there would be a significant handling and return charge. *The ground must be firm enough to take the weight of your building.
