Portable Shed Support Base - Flexistore 1533 Range ONLY -
The Asgard easy-fit portable shed base is THE solution for all new Asgard shed owners*! As we all know, Asgard sheds are made from the toughest, heavyweight, Galvanised steel, making our bike storage & garden storage the best on the market. All Asgard sheds are precision-made and so need a good, strong, firm, and level base to ensure a nice, quick, and easy installation and the continued smooth operation of the locks and doors. For many years now, we have recommended that all our sheds go onto a concrete or tarmac surface. Which is still very much the case, but... now there is another option.
Sheds without digging up your garden for a base
You might not fancy digging up your garden, so the design team at Asgard has developed an easy-to-use portable freestanding shed base system.
Shed base with minimal groundwork.
Setting up is super easy. You need to pop some flags down (one for each corner and make sure these are on a sound foundation and as flat as possible. This is quicker (and MUCH cheaper) than a full concrete base; this can be as easy as four flagstones or small dig-outs filled with postcrete in each corner. Postcrete is a really easy way to do this.
5x11 Asgard Sheds - Perfect for angled or sloped driveways
The new base system is perfect for driveways. Imagine.... You have just had your drive done, there is no way you are going to dig it up for a shed, so the easy-fit shed base is perfect, just drop it in place and adjust the leveling feet!!
Then slide the chunky 100mm legs into place on the frame, and screw them in as level as you can by eye (each screw position gives you 25mm of adjustment, maximum of 50 mm). Once the base looks pretty close to level, a further 10mm of fine adjustment is available through the feet, a simple turn or two, and you can get your base super level.
Once level, then it's shed building as normal. Just bolt your base to the frame, and build your Asgard as per the supplied instructions.
Calling all Landlords, Tenants, and shared house owners.
Do you rent ot lease a property and really want an Asgard shed, but don't have permission to dig up someone else's (or don't want your tenants to) garden, causing damage and leaving a permanent concrete slab behind? Try our portable shed base, quick and easy installation, with minimum ground works, and when you leave the property, don't worry. Your money is safe, and you can take it with you!
Top tip:
Asgard sheds are built inside and out, which, when on the floor, often means standing inside your shed (our videos show this). If you are building on one of our shed frames, we always recommend purchasing a subfloor to sit inside the shed once it is completed, to ensure the base is as strong as possible.
"This is a design we have been considering for a long time. Asgard sheds are approved and accredited, and so precision-made. A flat surface is key to a good installation and smooth lock operation; the simple drop-and-adjust nature of this design works really well. I’ve been thinking about this design for a while. It just works"! Chris – Asgard Designer.
We would always recommend using the base frame in conjunction with a wooden subfloor. This should be fitted once the unit has been built and before use.
You can not fit the subfloor during the build, only once it has been built (you need access to all the base fitting holes).
*Please Note:
This base will only fit these models:
This base is in three sections and not a single frame.
