Plastic Shed Base Grids

You might think we are a little bit biased. Most shed builders will lay a concrete pad for the foundation, which are definitely solid.

But what happens when the weather turns and heavy rain starts to run under your shed?

Garden shed bases made with our plastic grids do not allow that water to get to the bottom of your shed. This stops the water from attacking the timber and preventing the rot.

Our garden shed base kits provide great airflow which stops the build up of humidity near the timber.

No concrete or block raised bases can do that! Our plastic shed bases are the best way to make a shed base without concrete.

Plastic grids are the cheapest base for a shed.

The savings are both short term as well as long term. You could put concrete blocks underneath which are per unit rather cheap.

But are you going to put these onto bare ground? If so, what happens when the ground gets wet and starts to move around underneath the blocks?

Plastic shed base grids don't move when they're installed. Provided it's level enough, you can install them onto bare ground.

They don't need any stone in to be effective either, so there's very little preparation needed. This keeps your labour costs down.

And as plastic is indestructible, these grids will last in excess of 25 years.

You do not need to use gravel directly underneath the shed.

The stone does help to stabilise the surface but the weight of the shed should be enough to pin the building down. Adding extra underneath the shed will help with keeping the floor of your garden shed level though.

If you have exposed sections of grid, it's good to fill in them with stone to tidy up the job. This also will help with pushing wheelbarrows, etc. across the surface.

If you have exposed sections, we also recommend using our ramp edging to make moving wheels easier.

It is therefore up to you whether you prefer to use stone for the whole garden shed base or just the exposed sections of grids.

We have designed our shed base grids with a mesh structure that stops sinking.

You may have seen examples of sheds built on other grids where the building rocks or has sunk. Many grid designs don't take into account ground conditions and how the shed settles.

Our design features an X on each of the cells which helps to spread the weight of the shed evenly across the grid. This means you don't need a membrane and you don't need concrete foundations.

To stop your shed sinking, use IBRAN garden shed base grids for your next shed build.

None.

Our plastic shed base grids can be installed beneath a garden shed without filling them. They're strong enough to hold an articulated lorry, so they're strong enough for any shed!

If you choose to fill them, you'll need 15kg of stone per grid.
