FAQs

What tools are needed for assembly?

You will typically need a hammer, measuring tape, level, and possibly a drill or screwdriver, depending on the specific assembly instructions.

Is the timber treated?

Yes, the timber is pressure-treated for protection against rot and insect damage.

Can I use this base for a shed from a different manufacturer?

No, this base is specifically designed for Power Sheds 8 x 5ft sheds.

How long will the base last?

The lifespan of the base depends on environmental factors, but the pressure treatment helps to ensure it will last for many years. Regular inspection and maintenance will help extend its lifespan.

Do I need to treat the timber?

The timber is already pressure-treated, so additional treatment is not required, although you can apply a wood preservative if desired.

What if my ground isn't perfectly level?

You can use shims to level the base on uneven ground. Make sure the base is properly leveled before assembling the shed.

Can the base be painted?

While the base can be painted, it is generally not necessary due to the pressure treatment. If painting, use a paint suitable for treated timber.

Troubleshooting

Base is not level after assembly.

Check the ground underneath and ensure it's level. Use shims to level the base before installing the shed.

Difficulty assembling the base.

Double-check the instructions and ensure you are using the correct pieces. Re-examine the pre-cut sections to make sure you are placing them in the correct orientation. Ensure that you have the correct tools, such as a hammer, level, and measuring tape, on hand.

Timber appears damaged.

Inspect the damage. Minor imperfections are common. If damage is significant, contact the supplier for assistance.
