Diverging from most other overlap huts, the boards are cut straight, providing a more sophisticated appearance.Constructed from 14mm solid timber, the base is thicker by 40% compared to regular shed floors and features pressure-treated bearers for added protection against ground dampness.The ceiling is constructed from 8mm solid sheet, reinforced with a metal truss bracket, and equipped with a top-quality mineral-felt cover for complete weatherproofing. Its apex architecture, smooth-planed barge boards, and charming finials enhance the final presentation with elegance.A Secure HutThe dual gates can be fitted in various positions and incorporate double-Z framing for increased solidity to prevent deformation. Discreet security hinges and a latch & staple plate ensure the security of valuable tools (lock not included).The two PET-glazed windows permit ample natural light into the hut.

Its interlocking design simplifies assembly, and despite being lightweight, it forms a robust and lasting foundation for the shed. Crafted from 100% recycled plastic, this base is eco-friendly and can be reused if the shed is relocated. The base promotes ventilation and drainage beneath the shed, aiding in keeping the shed floor dry. To set up the base, interlock the square grids and place them on a stable, level area. It is recommended to utilize 15kg of 10mm pea gravel per square (gravel not included). Each square measures 500 x 500 x 40mm. The pack comprises 15 squares and a heavy-duty, commercially rated weed membrane. Please note that we do not assemble plastic shed bases as part of our installation service. A helpful installation video can be found here. You must prepare the base according to the provided instructions before the installers arrive. Placing the base directly on grass is not suitable, and the installers will be unable to construct your garden building.
