Garden Building Base Guides
-
All garden buildings require a strong, level and solid base. There are various base options available listed below, we have tried to suggest suitable options depending on your garden buildng type and ground conditions;
- For relatively level ground: A raft base is the ideal solution for those on a budget - only available with Teleshed orders.
- For Sloping ground: A raised heavy duty timber base would be the most cost effective.
- Possibility of a building which may need moving in the future: An EcoGrid base would be the best solution.
- For Long Term relatively flat solid ground: All options including; Concrete Paving Slabs, Solid Concrete, Heavy Duty Timber or EcoGrid.
Things to think about when ordering your garden building. What type of base do I need for my garden building? Do I want heat, light and power in my building? Do I need any plumbing for water etc? What ventilation will I need?

Electrics
If you want to use your garden building all year around you will need to consider heat, light and power. This can be an after thought and all electrics can be run 'surface' or if you want the electrics recessed into the wall cavity (not log cabins) this has to be considered at the point of order or before installation. Please let us know what options you are thinking of before you place your building order.
