Forest Pressure Treated Shed Base
The Forest Pressure Treated Shed Base provides a strong, reliable and easy-to-install foundation for your garden shed. Designed specifically for Forest Garden Overlap and Shiplap sheds, this timber base offers a practical alternative to traditional concrete slabs or poured concrete, helping you prepare your shed site quickly while reducing installation time, cost and effort.
By raising your shed off the ground, the base improves airflow beneath the building and helps reduce water splashback during heavy rain. This added protection helps keep the underside of your shed drier, contributing to a longer lifespan.
A Simple Alternative to Concrete Bases
Creating a solid, level base is one of the most important steps when installing a garden shed. Rather than laying paving slabs or pouring concrete, this timber shed base provides a quicker and more convenient solution.
The frame is supplied with all the screws required for assembly, making installation straightforward. Once assembled, simply place it on level ground or use suitable packing materials if the surface is slightly uneven.
Although a concrete or slab base is often recommended, this timber base can also be used on compacted soil or grass when installed over a heavy-duty weed membrane.
Pressure Treated for Long-Lasting Protection
The timber has been incised and UC4 pressure treated, allowing preservative treatment to penetrate deep into the wood. This provides excellent protection against rot, fungal decay and moisture, making the base suitable for ground contact.
Backed by a 15 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, it offers years of dependable support with minimal maintenance.
Designed for Forest Garden Sheds
This shed base has been designed specifically for use with Forest Garden Overlap and Shiplap sheds. Compatibility with sheds from other manufacturers cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that the installation service is only available when the shed base is purchased at the same time as a compatible Forest Garden shed.
