Product Information

Full details

The QuickJack Hard Surface Shed Base Kit is for homeowners and DIYers looking to create a stable, moisture-free foundation for their garden sheds, workshops, or decking on hard surfaces. Its key benefit is the simplified installation and adjustable levelling system that ensures a sturdy and long-lasting base, protecting your structure from ground damp. A minor caveat is that it requires a pre-existing hard surface for installation. This robust kit includes 15 QuickJacks, corner brackets, and screws, designed for efficient assembly and durability.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of the QuickJack system?

While specific weight capacity per QuickJack is not detailed, the system is designed for typical garden sheds and decking. For heavy-duty structures, ensure adequate spacing of QuickJacks.

Can I use this kit on uneven ground?

The kit is designed for hard surfaces, and the adjustable feet allow for levelling up to 80mm. However, it requires a stable hard base and is not intended for use directly on very uneven or soft ground.

What size structure can this kit support?

This specific kit is designed for a 14ft x 10ft area. Additional QuickJacks may be needed for larger structures.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic DIY tools such as a spirit level, screwdriver or drill, and potentially a tape measure are recommended for installation.

How does this system protect against moisture?

The QuickJacks elevate the structure off the ground, allowing air to circulate underneath and preventing direct contact with damp ground or standing water.

Is the warranty transferable?

Warranty terms are typically associated with the original purchaser. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided with the product for details.

Can the QuickJacks be moved after installation?

Yes, the QuickJacks can be repositioned, but it would require dismantling the structure's connection to them and then readjusting the levelling.

Troubleshooting

Base is not perfectly level after adjustment.

Double-check that all QuickJack feet are making firm contact with the hard surface. Ensure the surface itself does not have significant dips. Make incremental adjustments to each foot until level is achieved.

Screws are difficult to tighten.

Ensure the screws are aligned correctly with the pre-drilled holes in the corner brackets and the timber frame. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads or damage the timber.

Structure feels unstable.

Verify that all 15 QuickJack units are in place and properly adjusted. Ensure the timber frame is securely fastened to the corner brackets. Check that the hard surface is solid and does not shift.

Rust appears on steel feet.

Light surface rust can be removed with a wire brush and treated with a metal paint suitable for outdoor use. Ensure the feet are clean and dry after treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a level, solid hard surface such as concrete or paving slabs.
  2. Arrange the QuickJack units according to the 14ft x 10ft layout, placing them at planned intervals for support.
  3. Use the adjustable steel feet to achieve a perfectly level base. Each foot can be adjusted up to 80mm.
  4. Attach the corner brackets to the QuickJacks and secure your timber frame to the brackets using the provided screws.

Compatibility:

  • This kit is designed for use on existing hard surfaces like concrete slabs, paved areas, or tarmac.
  • It is suitable for timber garden buildings, sheds, workshops, and decking structures.
  • Not recommended for installation directly on soil, grass, or gravel without a suitable hard base layer.

Care:

  • Periodically check the stability of the QuickJacks and the level of the base. Re-adjust feet if necessary.
  • Clean the QuickJacks with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure no debris accumulates around or under the QuickJacks, which could affect stability or airflow.
