Product Information

Full details

The Shire Gorilla Base PRO B is a professional-grade foundation system designed for homeowners looking to provide a durable, stable base for garden buildings like sheds and log cabins between 73 and 90 square feet. By utilizing advanced ground screw technology and a heavy-duty pressure-treated timber frame, this system effectively elevates structures to prevent moisture-related rot and structural shifting. While it offers superior longevity and professional installation, it is a premium solution that requires a dedicated installation window and coordination with a project manager.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this base work on all soil types?

The ground screw system is versatile and works on most standard soil types, though professional assessment during the project management phase will confirm suitability for your specific location.

How long does the installation take?

Installation times vary based on site accessibility, but your project manager will provide a specific timeline during the planning phase.

Do I need to do any site preparation myself?

You should ensure the installation area is clear of major debris and that you have identified the location of any underground utilities or pipes.

Can I move the base after it has been installed?

The Gorilla Base PRO B is designed as a permanent foundation solution. Moving it would require a professional removal and re-installation process.

Is the timber frame rot-proof?

It is pressure-treated to be highly resistant to rot, fungal decay, and insect damage, significantly increasing the lifespan of the base compared to untreated wood.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between the shed floor and the base frame

Contact your project manager to evaluate if the site soil has experienced unexpected settling; most adjustments are covered during the initial installation guarantee.

Water pooling around the perimeter of the installation

Ensure that your garden drainage is directed away from the footprint of the building; though the base is elevated, site-wide drainage issues should be addressed by a landscaper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior stability compared to traditional concrete slabs
  • Pressure-treated frame prevents wood rot and moisture damage
  • Professional installation minimizes manual labor and error
  • Efficient ground screw method causes less garden disruption than digging
  • Dedicated project management ensures high-quality results

Cons

  • Higher initial investment than DIY methods
  • Requires professional scheduling and on-site access
  • Designed specifically for the 73 to 90 square foot range
  • Not suitable for self-installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup for the Shire Gorilla Base PRO B is handled entirely by the professional installation team assigned to your project. Compatibility is strictly limited to garden buildings within the 73 to 90 square foot footprint. Before installation, ensure the site is clear of large obstacles, underground utility lines, or delicate landscaping that could interfere with the ground screws. Once installed, the pressure-treated timber is highly durable, though it is recommended to periodically inspect the perimeter of your building to ensure no debris has accumulated against the base frame. While the timber is treated against the elements, the elevated design naturally allows for airflow, which is the best defense against long-term moisture accumulation.
