Description

EcoBase FASTFIT Shed Base Kit

ECOBASE FASTFIT shed base kit foundation system is fast, easy-to-fit, lightweight, eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete bases for sheds, cabins and greenhouses, and is one of the strongest shed base grid systems available.

As the UKs original plastic grid base shed foundation system for garden buildings, EcoBase has evolved with the introduction of the FastFit shed base foundation system. Not only does it provide you with a firm, strong, long-lasting and well-drained foundation for garden buildings, capable of supporting 60 tonnes per grid when empty, it is now even quicker to install through the use of self-fastening clips to link grids together.

EcoBase shed base kits have a 10-year guarantee and these reusable grid tiles are lightweight and easy to handle, costing a fraction of the price of a traditional concrete base.pdf brochure image 600

To create your foundation, simply join as many grids together as required. They are easily connected and come complete free weed suppressant ground membrane. Each EcoBase Fastfit grid measures approx. 500x500mm but can be joined together to make a foundation of any size, and can be easily cut to any shape using a normal hand saw.

Each plastic grid measures approximately 500mm x 500mm x 40mm weighing just 1.4kg each, however thanks to it’s patented design it has a huge crushability rating which can withstand 300 tonnes per sq. metre*.

Easy DIY Assembly

The Swift EcoBase FastFit shed base grid foundation has been designed to allow even a novice DIY user to create a high quality, strong, long-lasting shed base without the need for a expensive professional service.

 


Optional Extras

There are no optional extras are available for the FastFit system, however it does come with a water-permeable, weed suppressant ground membrane which will be cut to match the size of your building (please state size when ordering).

EcoBase FastFit shed bases are very strong, and don’t need to be filled with gravel, which will make a substantial saving to the cost of your shed base. However, you may want to fill any visible external areas with pea shingle to make it look nice, and reduce the amount of water splashback from the roof. Normally it takes about 10kg of pea gravel to fill a tile, and you should be able to purchase this from your local building supply company.
