Description

A1 BaseKIT™ Timber Shed Base System

This shed base is a rectangular Tanalised® (pressure-treated) timber frame system. A1 Sheds first developed this shed base back in the 1980’s in order to create a low cost, simple, fast and effective solution for gardens with uneven or mixed surfaces. Nowadays, this shed base is also known as a Pin-Base, PortaBase, AirTech Base, or a PowerBase, however the basic design remains the same.

The A1 BaseKit is available as an optional extra for TGB, Saltire and A1 branded timber buildings, and cannot be delivered separately. If you choose us to assemble your shed, then we’ll assemble and install this shed base for you FREE OF CHARGE. There is NO GROUND PREPARATION REQUIRED* and we are able to fit it onto any firm surface… inc. grass, soil, gravel, uneven slabs, concrete etc. The ground below doesn’t need to be level either, therefore the A1 BaseKIT can be fitted onto gently sloping ground (max. 12″), uneven ground, and mixed surfaces if required, all you need is an area clear of any movable obstacles or shrubs.

Please note that the design of the A1BaseKit, the quantity of pegs, and their positions will vary depending on the size of building, and type of ground.

IMPORTANT:
Our assembly service is only available for slopes with a maximum drop of 30cm across the floor area of your building. We may be able to accommodate larger slopes, however there will be an additional charge (the amount will vary depending on the individual circumstances), and we must be advised prior to arrival in order to bring the appropriate materials otherwise the building and base will be left for self assembly. Alternatively a return visit can be arranged, however there would be a significant handling and return charge. *Ground must be firm enough to take the weight of your building. We are unable to provide a solid fixing into freshly disturbed, or boggy ground, as this can’t support the posts or the frame. Before ordering, please let us know if your ground is like this, and we’ll let you know what can be done.

PLEASE NOTE: It is the homeowners responsibility to check that there are no under-ground services i.e. electric, water, sewage pipes etc. before post or pegs are hammered into the ground, as we will not be liable for any damage caused.
