Product Information

Full details

The Shire Gorilla Base PRO - D is a professional-grade foundation solution tailored for large garden structures between 217 and 324 square feet, offering property owners a stable, long-lasting alternative to messy concrete foundations. By utilizing precision-engineered ground screws and a robust pressure-treated timber frame, this system elevates your structure to prevent moisture damage and structural shifting. While it provides an exceptionally durable and level platform, it requires professional installation, meaning users cannot perform a DIY setup for this specific system.

FAQs

Can I install the Gorilla Base PRO - D myself?

No, this system requires professional installation by our trained team to ensure the leveling and structural integrity are guaranteed.

What is the square footage range for this model?

The Gorilla Base PRO - D is specifically engineered for garden structures measuring between 217 and 324 square feet.

Do I need to pour concrete for this foundation?

No, one of the primary benefits of this system is that it uses ground screws, completely eliminating the need for concrete.

How does the base protect my shed from moisture?

The base elevates the structure on a 6x2 timber frame, preventing direct contact with the ground and allowing air to circulate underneath.

What happens if my garden ground is uneven?

The ground screw system is specifically designed to accommodate uneven terrain by adjusting the height of individual screws to create a level surface.

How long will the pressure-treated timber last?

Pressure-treated timber is highly resistant to rot and insect infestation, offering a significantly longer lifespan than standard untreated wood when used for foundation support.

Troubleshooting

Visible movement or shifting in the building frame

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is performed exclusively by the Shire professional installation team. During the initial consultation, a site survey is conducted to verify soil compatibility for the ground screws. Compatibility is ideal for most residential soil types, but the team will confirm stability prior to installation. Care for the base is minimal; because the timber is pressure-treated, it does not require immediate sealing or staining for rot protection. However, keep the surrounding drainage clear of debris to ensure moisture can continue to flow away from the structure. Regularly inspect the perimeter for any soil erosion around the ground screw contact points during extreme weather seasons.
