Timber Frame Base

A Solid Foundation for Your Garden Building
 
Every quality garden building starts with a quality foundation. At Somerset Sheds, we believe the base is just as important as the building itself. A well constructed base provides the strength, stability and support needed to ensure your shed, summerhouse or workshop performs exactly as it should for many years to come.
 
Our timber frame bases are designed and installed by our experienced team using high quality pressure treated timber, with the supporting posts securely concreted into the ground. This creates a strong, level and long lasting foundation that is perfectly suited to your new garden building.

Whether your garden is perfectly level or has uneven ground, our timber frame bases provide an excellent solution, reducing the need for extensive groundwork while delivering exceptional strength and stability.
 
Concreted Posts for Maximum Stability
 
What sets our timber frame bases apart is the way they are installed.
 
Rather than simply resting on the ground or sitting on paving slabs, each supporting post is securely concreted into the ground. This anchors the entire frame in place, creating a rigid and stable foundation that is built to last.
Concreting the posts into the ground helps to:

• Prevent the base from shifting or settling over time

• Keep your garden building level throughout the seasons

• Reduce movement caused by soft or uneven ground

• Provide a solid foundation for both standard and heavy duty garden buildings

• Increase the lifespan of both the base and the building

Every post is carefully positioned, levelled and concreted individually before the frame is assembled, ensuring the finished base forms one strong, solid platform ready for installation.
Unlike timber bases that simply sit on the ground, our concreted post system provides a secure anchor, giving your garden building the strongest possible start.

Why Choose a Timber Frame Base?
 
A professionally installed timber frame base offers many advantages over placing a building directly onto the ground.
Every base is manufactured from high quality pressure treated timber to help protect against rot and decay while providing outstanding structural strength.

Built to Measure
 
Every timber frame base is made specifically for your chosen building. We manufacture each base to the exact dimensions required, ensuring a perfect fit and even support across the entire floor.
​
Unlike many suppliers who simply deliver materials, Somerset Sheds carries out the complete installation from start to finish.
Our experienced team will assess your site, set out the base accurately, concrete each supporting post into the ground and ensure the finished frame is perfectly level before your building is installed.
Because we manufacture and install everything ourselves, you can be confident every stage of the project is completed to the highest standard.

Why the Base Matters
 
A poorly constructed or uneven base can lead to problems over time, including:

• Doors and windows becoming difficult to open

• Uneven floors

• Excess movement within the building

• Premature wear on the structure

• Water drainage issues

Investing in a professionally installed timber frame base protects your garden building from day one and helps ensure it remains strong, level and reliable for many years.
