Product Information
Full details
The QuickJack Garden Shed Base Kit is for homeowners looking to build durable and stable foundations for garden structures like sheds and decking on hard surfaces. Its key benefit is providing a level, moisture-resistant base with adjustable height for optimal stability. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for lightweight structures and the need for 2-inch timber, which may not suit all building projects. This kit includes six QuickJacks, corner and inline brackets, and screws, offering an innovative solution for creating a robust frame.

FAQs
What type of timber should I use with this kit?
The kit is designed for use with 2-inch wide timber for constructing your garden structure's frame.
Can I use this kit on soft ground like grass?
No, this kit is specifically designed for hard surfaces such as concrete, patios, or asphalt. It will not provide adequate stability on soft ground.
What is the maximum weight this kit can support?

How much height can I add with the levelling feet?
The adjustable steel feet allow for up to 80mm of levelling adjustment.
Does the kit come with timber?
No, the kit includes the QuickJacks, brackets, and screws. You will need to provide your own 2-inch wide timber for the frame.
What is the warranty period for the QuickJack Garden Shed Base Kit?
The kit comes with a ten-year guarantee.
Can this kit be used for a decking project?
Yes, it is suitable for creating a stable and moisture-resistant base for lightweight decking projects.
Troubleshooting
QuickJacks do not seem level after adjustment
Ensure the timber frame is seated correctly on all QuickJack units. Double-check that the hard surface beneath the QuickJacks is itself relatively stable and free of significant dips. Adjust feet incrementally, confirming level with a spirit level at each step.
Screws are difficult to insert into brackets
Verify that you are using the correct screws provided in the kit. Ensure the timber is aligned properly with the bracket holes. Pre-drilling pilot holes in the timber may be necessary if resistance is high.
Base feels unstable after installation
Confirm that all QuickJack units are supporting weight evenly and that the levelling feet are securely locked. Ensure the timber frame is rigid and all connections are tight. Check if the load exceeds the 250kg per point limit.
