BEFORE YOU START
.
BASE PREPARATION
It is vital that you build your new
summerhouse
on a solid, level base. Timber or plastic bases are ideal, as are concrete
slabs or solid concrete.
Timber Base
Self-constructed/
Buy pre-made
Concrete
Concrete surface/
Concrete slabs
Pro Shed Base
Interlocking
eco-friendly base
Broken Slabs/Gaps
Uneven slab sizes
with no cement
Soil
A base of soil or
grass only
If you have an existing base and think it’s suitable for your new
summerhouse
to be sited on, it is important you check that it is
level and doesn’t deviate by any more than 15mm from edge to edge. If this is not the case, the building will twist, causing
gaps to appear in the sections and causing the roof, doors and windows to misalign.
