Product Information
Full details
The QuickJack Shed Base Kit is for homeowners looking to create a stable, level foundation for lightweight garden structures like sheds and decking on hard surfaces. Its key benefit is providing an elevated, moisture-resistant base with adjustable levelling feet, ensuring longevity for your garden buildings. A potential caveat is its weight limit of 250 kilos per point, making it unsuitable for heavier structures.

FAQs
What is the maximum load capacity per QuickJack?
Each QuickJack point can support a maximum load of 250 kilos.
Can this kit be used on grass or soft ground?
No, the QuickJack system is designed for use on hard surfaces like concrete or paving slabs. Using it on soft ground may lead to instability and failure.
What size timber should I use with this kit?
The kit is designed to work with 2-inch wide timber for constructing the frame.
How much levelling adjustment is possible?
The adjustable steel feet allow for up to 80mm of levelling adjustment.
Does the kit include timber?
No, the kit includes the QuickJacks, brackets, and screws. Timber for the frame needs to be purchased separately.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a ten-year guarantee.
Can I use this for a heavy log cabin?
This kit is intended for lightweight garden buildings. For heavier structures like log cabins, you would need a foundation system with a higher load capacity.
Troubleshooting
Structure feels unstable after installation
Re-check that all QuickJack feet are fully adjusted and locked, and that the timber frame is securely fastened to the brackets with all 24 screws.
Difficulty achieving a level base
Ensure the hard surface itself is relatively flat. Make incremental adjustments to the QuickJack feet, using a spirit level on multiple points of the frame to guide your adjustments.
Screws do not seem to fit securely
Confirm you are using the correct size timber (2-inch wide) and that the screws are being driven into the timber at an appropriate angle. Ensure the brackets are aligned correctly with the timber.
