5m x 3m Insulated Garden Room

The first thing is not to get confused between the base and the floor. All of the buildings supplied by Timberdise Garden Buildings come with floors. Base is something you will need for your new building to be erected upon. You need to make sure you get this ready before installing your new building, it’s the most important part. So lets start with what is an unsuitable base.

What is an unsuitable base?

• Uneven ground
• Soft Ground (such as a mud or grass area)

To explain further, if you have a patio area and the patio area is uneven we would deem that unfit to place one of our wooden garden buildings on. Another example would be if you wanted to install the new building on a grassy area or on muddy ground this would also be unfit for one of our wooden garden buildings. Also under no circumstances should you fit on any sort of gravel.

So what base do I need?

• A solid level base, that offers support and durability for my new wooden garden building.
• The most common bases people use for wooden garden building are patio/slabbed areas or some people get the are concreted by a professional trades person in that particular field. This is because the base needs to be thick enough to support the weight of your new building but also it needs to be the correct size, level and 100% flat. If the base dips or rises anywhere throughout the base it will stop your new building being installed correctly and in some extreme cases it will be impossible to install. For more information please contact us for advice.
• Some people choose to have a wooden base, very similar to that used for deck boards. This is also fine but please make sure that you have a professional to make sure they use the correct Timber with the required strength to support the building.
