Full details

FAQs
What type of surface is required for installation?
The QuickJack HS Shed Base Kit is designed for installation on hard, level surfaces such as concrete patios, paved areas, or level tarmac. It is not suitable for installation directly onto soft ground like grass or soil.
Can this kit be used for heavy-duty structures?
This kit is engineered for lightweight garden buildings. For heavier structures like garages or large workshops, a more substantial foundation system is recommended.
How much adjustment is possible with the steel feet?
The adjustable steel feet allow for up to 80mm of levelling, which helps to compensate for minor unevenness on the hard surface.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes QuickJacks with both corner and inline brackets, along with all necessary screws for assembly, enabling a complete shed base support system.
What is the warranty period?
The QuickJack HS Shed Base Kit comes with a 10-year guarantee, ensuring its durability and reliability.
How do I maintain the QuickJack base?
Maintain the base by periodically checking the levelling of the feet and re-adjusting if needed. Clean the components with a damp cloth and inspect screws annually.
Troubleshooting
Shed base is not level after installation
Re-check each QuickJack's adjustable steel feet. Use a spirit level across multiple jacks and adjust until perfectly level. Ensure the ground surface beneath the jacks is firm and stable.
Screws do not seem to fit securely
Ensure you are using the correct screws provided in the kit for the specific brackets. Verify that the timber is aligned correctly with the bracket holes. Do not overtighten screws, which can strip the wood.
Moisture still appears to be an issue
Confirm that the QuickJacks are adequately lifting the shed base off the ground. Ensure there are no gaps where water can collect around the base. The primary function is to prevent direct ground contact, not to create a waterproof seal against heavy rain or standing water.
