Forest Garden Shed Base for 6x3ft Overlap Sheds

The Forest Garden shed base is a purpose-built wooden foundation designed specifically for supporting Forest Garden 6x3ft overlap sheds. It offers a practical alternative to traditional concrete slabs or poured concrete foundations, providing a solid and level platform that raises the shed structure off the ground. This elevation helps protect the shed from ground moisture and water splashback during heavy rainfall, contributing to the longevity of the entire garden building. The base is constructed from pressure-treated timber with UC4 treatment, which involves deep incisions that allow preservatives to penetrate the wood thoroughly. This treatment makes the timber suitable for direct ground contact and provides protection against rot and fungal decay, backed by a 15-year guarantee. Assembly is straightforward using the provided screws to connect the timber sections together. The base should be placed on level ground, though it can be propped with suitable materials on uneven surfaces, and using a heavy-duty weed membrane underneath is recommended if installing directly on soil or grass. This product is specifically designed for compatibility with Forest Garden's own 6x3ft overlap sheds and is not suitable for use with shiplap or tongue and groove sheds from the same manufacturer, nor with sheds from other brands. It represents a time-saving and cost-effective solution for gardeners and homeowners looking to install a durable shed without the complexity of concrete foundations, ensuring proper support and moisture management for the garden structure.
