Product Information

Full details

The True Products Shed Base Kit is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a sustainable and robust foundation for garden buildings like sheds, greenhouses, or log cabins. Its key benefit is providing a stable, weed-free, and free-draining base using interlocking recycled plastic grids. A minor caveat is that while it prevents gravel migration, the initial site preparation and leveling are crucial for optimal results.

FAQs

What size is each TruePave grid?

Each grid measures 330mm x 330mm x 40mm.

How much weight can the base support?

The TruePave grids are high strength and can support up to 200 tons per square meter when properly installed and filled.

Do I need to buy separate weed fabric?

No, the kit includes weed fabric sufficient to cover the specified area (6ft x 4ft for this kit).

Can I cut the grids to fit specific shapes?

Yes, the grids can be easily cut with a saw to fit around corners or obstacles.

What material should I use to fill the grids?

Pea shingle or similar small stones are recommended for filling the grids, providing a stable and attractive surface.

Is this product suitable for driveways?

Yes, the high strength makes it suitable for garden pathways and private lanes, and potentially for light vehicle parking areas if the base is adequately prepared.

How is the product environmentally friendly?

It is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic diverted from landfill and is also 100% recyclable at the end of its lifespan.

What is SuDS compliance?

SuDS stands for Sustainable Drainage Systems. Compliance means the base allows for natural water infiltration into the ground, preventing excessive surface water runoff.

Troubleshooting

Grids are difficult to clip together.

Ensure the grids are aligned correctly and that there is no debris in the interlocking mechanism. Slight pressure may be needed.

Ground remains uneven after installation.

The primary cause is insufficient initial site preparation. The ground itself needs to be level before laying the grids for optimal stability.

Weeds are growing through the base.

Ensure the weed fabric was laid correctly and fully covered the ground before placing the grids. Check for any gaps or tears in the fabric.

Base feels unstable under load.

Verify that all grids are securely clipped together and that the ground beneath is firm and level. Ensure the correct amount and type of infill material has been used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Environmentally friendly and made from recycled materials.
Simple and quick installation process.
Provides excellent drainage, preventing waterlogging.
Very high load-bearing capacity for heavy structures.
Durable and resistant to UV rays and frost.
Low maintenance once installed.

Cons

Requires careful ground leveling for optimal stability.
Additional infill material (e.g., pea shingle) needs to be purchased separately.
Individual grids are relatively small, requiring assembly for larger areas.
May not be suitable for extremely uneven terrain without significant preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

Site Preparation: Level the ground where the shed base will be installed. Ensure the area is firm and free from sharp objects.
Weed Fabric: Unroll the provided weed control fabric over the prepared area. Trim to size if necessary. The weight of the grids will hold it in place, so pins are generally not required.
Grid Installation: Begin laying the TruePave grids, clipping them together as you go. The interlocking system is designed for a secure fit. Continue until the entire area is covered.
Infill: Once the grids are in place and clipped together, fill the cavities with your chosen infill material, such as pea shingle. Rake it level to create a smooth surface.
Placement: Your shed, greenhouse, or other garden building can now be placed directly onto the prepared base.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most types of garden sheds, greenhouses, summer houses, and log cabins.
Can be used for creating stable pathways, driveways, or designated parking areas for light vehicles.
Compatible with various infill materials like gravel, crushed stone, or decorative chippings.

Care:

The TruePave grids are manufactured from UV and frost-resistant plastic, requiring minimal maintenance.
Regularly check the infill material to ensure it remains level. Top up if necessary.
Clean the surface with water and a stiff brush if it becomes dirty. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
The product is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
