Bases Comparison
Every garden building requires a solid, flat, and level base to prevent structural issues that may develop over time, especially with temperature fluctuations, which can lead to problems like doors dropping. The right base allows building materials to breathe and elevates the structure above ground level, helping to avoid pooling water that can cause rotting.
To assist you in making an informed decision, we’ve created a helpful guide that compares the various types of bases, outlining the pros and cons of each. Please remember that it is the customer’s responsibility to consider roof overhangs and ensure sufficient space for maintenance and installation.
