Shed Bases in Shortlands
A base your shed deserves.
We build shed bases in Shortlands in concrete, paving slabs or timber, level and slightly larger than the building, so doors close and floors stay dry.

Your garden, considered
Why the base matters
A shed on uneven ground twists, its doors stick and its floor rots. A level, firm base keeps it square and dry.
We excavate, compact a sub-base and build the base to the size of the building.
On sloping Shortlands plots, bases may need building up or stepping.

Size it right
The base should be slightly larger than the building's footprint to protect the edges and let water drain away.
