Its key benefit is providing an easy-to-use system that elevates structures, protecting them from ground moisture and ensuring longevity.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight the QuickJack system can support?
Each individual QuickJack point can support a maximum load of 250 kilos. The total load capacity depends on the number of QuickJacks used and the distribution of weight from your structure.
Can I use this kit for a heavy-duty shed?
This kit is specifically designed for lightweight garden buildings and decking. For heavier structures, a more robust foundation solution would be recommended.
Do I need to buy timber separately?
Yes, the kit provides the brackets and QuickJacks. You will need to purchase 2-inch wide timber to construct the frame that attaches to the system.
What types of surfaces can I install this on?
The QuickJack Shed Base Kit is intended for use on hard surfaces such as concrete, paving slabs, or other firm, level ground.
How much levelling adjustment is possible?
The adjustable steel feet on each QuickJack offer up to 80mm of levelling adjustment, allowing you to compensate for minor irregularities in the hard surface.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes six QuickJacks, corner brackets, inline brackets, and 24 screws.
What is the warranty period?
The QuickJack Shed Base Kit comes with a ten-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Frame is not level after installation
Adjust the steel feet on each QuickJack individually. Use a spirit level to check each side and corner, making small adjustments until the frame is perfectly flat.
Screws are not holding the timber securely
Ensure you are using the correct size screws and that the timber is not split. Pre-drilling pilot holes in the timber may help if resistance is high.
Ground beneath the QuickJacks is unstable
This kit is designed for hard surfaces. If installed on softer ground, consider reinforcing the area with a layer of compacted gravel or paving slabs underneath each QuickJack.
Corrosion on QuickJack components
Light surface corrosion can be cleaned with a wire brush and a protective coating applied. Significant rust may impact structural integrity; inspect carefully.
