There are many different adjustable shed base systems, but they all follow the same general design mentioned above. They allow for the shed to move up or down several inches using a large wrench that turns the nut on the threaded rod. The nut forces the top plate up or allows it to be lowered towards the ground. is a cheap and durable method of creating a shed base. They act to spread the load over the full footprint of the shed. The adjustable shed base copes easily with bearing on to a variety of materials. In this case it included a section of old patio and some newly constructed individual bases. When it comes to the smallest sheds foundations are often not needed the existing landscaping may have more than sufficient capacity to support the shed. The project started, as always, with creating a design so that the quantities of materials could be established. I combined the

and easy shed foundation option. Their lightweight removes some of the heavy work involved in building a shed base. The compressive strength rating is important when deciding on stone suitable for a driveway or commercial setting where excessive weight will be applied to the paving. Paving that does not pass the required standard will not support any excessive loading.

How do shed foundations work?

them up and make them level again, because they are small and relatively light . How deep should shed foundations be? Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa Once constructed, the shed base provides a level and sturdy base that is slightly raised off the ground to protect the shed floor from damp. The metals spikes are meant to secure the shed base into the ground. Pros

House foundations are dug deep and designed to keep movements to a minimum. This is for several reasons including: The plastic foundation grids are durable and reusable too. Although I am not a great fan of plastic the fact that they can be reused helps. The flexural strength is important as it ensures the paving is not overly brittle which would cause difficulties when handling and laying. Compression Limits (BS EN 1926These are extremely durable, strong adjustable shed supports. They are rated to withstand nearly 2 tons of weight, making them about 1000 pounds stronger than the Pylex adjustable supports. On the other hand, you have to buy the concrete piers, nut, and washer separately. Simpson suggests that you drill your own ¾” hole in an existing concrete pier and thread the rod into it. The shaft must be at least 3.5” deep into the concrete. You’ll need a masonry drill bit and a hammer drill to do this job. Once in, you should be able to twist the rod into place, but it should also be snug. The reason for this is so that the underside of the foundation is beneath the 'frost zone'. As the ground gets cold and freezes in the winter the soil
