FAQs
What type of surfaces can the QuickJack base kit be installed on?
The kit is designed for installation on tarmac, concrete, or hardcore surfaces.
How much weight can each support point hold?
Each support point is rated to bear up to 250kg.
Can I adjust the height of the base?
Yes, the adjustable steel feet allow for up to 80mm of levelling adjustment.
Does the kit come with everything I need for installation?
The kit includes all necessary fittings and fixings for the base itself. You may need additional fixings to secure your shed or deck to the base, depending on the structure.
What is the guarantee period for this product?
The QuickJack Garden Shed Base Kit comes with a ten-year guarantee.
Will this protect my shed from flooding?
The kit elevates your structure, protecting it from ground moisture and minor water pooling. It is not designed as a flood defence system against significant inundation.
Can I use this for a larger shed than 6ft x 5ft?
While the kit is sized for 6ft x 5ft structures, its stability and weight capacity can support larger buildings if the weight is appropriately distributed and the structure's total weight does not exceed the combined capacity of the supports.
Troubleshooting
Base is not level after adjustment
Ensure all adjustable feet are making firm contact with the ground. If the ground is significantly uneven beyond the 80mm adjustment range, consider adding shims or further ground preparation.
Wobbly structure after installation
Re-check the levelness of each support point. Ensure all fittings are tightened securely and that the structure itself is correctly assembled on the base. Verify the weight distribution is even.
Rust appears on metal components
Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a suitable metal primer and paint to prevent further corrosion. Ensure the area is dry before painting.
