A sound, level foundation can add decades of life to your shed...SO DO NOT BE FRUGAL WITH YOUR SHED FOUNDATION!
But it will never matter how good your Garden Building is or how fantastic your installation was if your shed base is sub-standard...
A huge amount of customer don't really give a second thought about their base, but a solid, lever foundation can add decades of life to your shed!

SHEDBED...Introduced by BASEFEAT, designed and manufactured by HAVEN TIMBER!
SHEDBED is revolutionary, adjustable, non-permanent and easy-to-install for the everyday DIY'er.
SHEDBED is...
- Cost effective - HUGE cost savings over concrete, paving and any type of hardstanding!
- Heavy Duty - SHEDBED utilises the unique BASEFEAT adjustable leveling system which is manufactured from Mild Steel which has been Zinc Galvanized to protect against the elements for up to 20 + years! BASEFEAT also utilises Heavy Duty high load capacity (1500kg per foot!) nylon tilting and adjustable M16 threaded feet!
- Load Bearing - BASEFEAT has a high load capacity of around 1500kg per foot! (We recommend calculating feet requirements at 750kg per foot just to give yourselves room for maneuver and peace of mind.)
- Can be installed on virtually any surface! - Even though SHEDBED Kits all use Tanalised (Pressure Treated) Tanalith E construction grade timber, the timber is NEVER in contact with the ground, no worry of rot or decay from the ground up!
- Easy to adjust and level, even whilst under load!
- NO Groundwork or preparation required - Unlike various shed foundation 'kits' or methods on the market today, there is no need for ANY groundworks, ground levelling or preparation using BASEFEAT/SHEDBED!
- No disruption to underground services
- Quick, simple and accurate to level - In almost ALL cirumstances, SHEDBED can be placed exactly where you require your Garden Building and levelled within minutes with just a spirit level and 15mm spanner! Even in exceptional circumstances, SHEDBED can be levelled in minutes, with its own incremental sized extension legs, extreme, unlevel ground problems are now a thing of the past!
- Non permanent...CAN BE EASILY MOVED!
- Design for both soft and hard ground - SHEDBED can be used on both hard and soft ground, grass or dirt? NO problem, SHEDBED can utilise it' ground anchor or ground plates for additional stability on softer surfaces!
- Extends the life of Sheds and Garden Buildings - Because the timber is NOT in contact with the floor, the life of your garden building can be extended for decades! Your shed floor is kept dry and well ventilated!
It is paramount to the long life of any garden building, that it is erected on a flat, level, solid, square base!
It must be capable of carrying considerable weight and The site should be clear and have sufficient clear space around the site the building should be located.

National Nest Box week runs from 14 to 21 February.
During this week people
are encouraged to put up nest boxes as natural nesting sites such as
holes in trees and old buildings are diminishing. Hanging a nest box
and looking out for any birds it may attract is the perfect half term
activity, both fun and educational. Pick up a nest box from our shop
in Norton St Philip for just £3.99
and see what birds end up in your garden.
