Full details

FAQs

What size shed can this base support?

The Ecobase Fastfit Shed Base kits come in various sizes and are designed to be configured to support most standard garden buildings. Ensure you select a kit size or combine kits to adequately cover the footprint of your structure.

Do I need to pour concrete for this base?

No, the Ecobase Fastfit Shed Base is designed as an alternative to concrete, offering a quicker and cleaner installation.

How do I calculate the correct size base?

Measure the exact footprint of your garden building's base and choose a kit or combination of kits that matches or slightly exceeds these dimensions for adequate support.

Is the weed membrane included in the kit?

Yes, each Ecobase Fastfit Shed Base Kit includes a sheet of weed-resistant membrane.

Can I install this on a slope?

While the base can accommodate minor undulations, it's best installed on a reasonably level and prepared surface for maximum stability. Significant slopes may require professional groundwork.

What is the product made from?

The grids are made from 100% recycled waste plastics.

How does rainwater drain away?

Rainwater drains through the cavities in the plastic grids and into the earth below, helping to keep the shed floor dry and ventilated.

Troubleshooting

Grids are difficult to click together

Ensure the connecting edges are clean and free from debris. Try wiggling them slightly as you push them together.

Base feels uneven or unstable

Re-level the ground beneath the grids. Ensure all grids are fully interlocked and check for any foreign objects trapped underneath.

Weeds are growing through the base

Verify the weed membrane is intact and properly laid with sufficient overlap. Repair any tears or gaps in the membrane.

Water pooling on the surface

Confirm the ground slopes slightly away from the structure or that the aggregate perimeter is clear and functioning as a drain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly due to 100% recycled plastic construction.
  • Simple and fast installation process compared to concrete or paving.
  • Lightweight and easy to transport and handle on-site.
  • Promotes good drainage, helping to preserve the garden building.
  • Provides a stable and level base for longevity of garden structures.

Cons

  • May require additional ground preparation for uneven or soft terrain.
  • Potential for movement if not adequately secured in very windy areas.
  • Cost might be higher upfront compared to some basic materials.
  • The longevity can depend on the correct installation and ground conditions.
  • Aggregate filling for the perimeter is an additional step and potential cost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the ground by clearing vegetation and levelling the area to the desired dimensions.
  2. Lay down the weed-resistant membrane, ensuring it covers the entire base area and overlaps if necessary.
  3. Assemble the Ecobase Fastfit grids by clicking them together in your desired configuration.
  4. Place the assembled grids onto the prepared ground.
  5. Ensure the base is firm and level before placing your garden building.
  6. (Optional) Fill the perimeter with decorative aggregate for a neat finish and improved drainage.

  • Sheds
  • Workshops

  • Log Cabins
  • Playhouses
  • Log Stores
  • Cycle Shelters

Care:

  • The grids are made from durable recycled plastic and require minimal maintenance.
  • Periodically check the base for any signs of movement or instability.
  • Clean with water and a stiff brush if significant dirt accumulates.
  • Ensure the weed membrane remains intact to prevent weed growth.
