Shed Bases

Shed bases come in various materials such as plastic and timber. These are necessary in order to raise your shed and protect it from water damage. Shed bases are extremely rigid and hard wearing.

Shed Bases are an essential part of installing a garden building in your outdoor space as they form a foundation that is level and reliable. Having a poor base can prevent your garden building from operating effectively.

Your shed can only be as stable as the shed base that you install for it, so we recommend ensuring that you choose a sturdy one. This helps to prevent the timber of the shed from cracking or bowing as the building will be lined up properly.

A garden shed base will raise the building off the ground to prevent moisture from rising into the timber and causing it to rot.

At Howarth Timber & Building Supplies, we offer a range of shed bases manufactured from pressure treated timber or high-quality plastic. A plastic shed base is a good option to consider as it won’t rot over time, making it an excellent long-term solution. Their unique design allows aggregate to be installed in the purpose-built gaps which helps to add stability as the load is spread evenly across the full base. This is particularly important if you are installing a larger building or will have heavier contents. The plastic shed bases from Howarth are manufactured from recycled plastic. Wooden shed bases are a reliable, convenient, and easy to install shed base.

If you are unsure of the best shed base for your chosen shed, contact your friendly local Howarth branch for more info or advice.
