Recycled plastic ecobases are a practical and easy solution to the question of "which shed base is right for me?". Depending on how flat your intended shed area is, they can require very minimal ground work before they are placed and provide a sturdy, long-lasting surface that your shed can rest on top of. They also weigh less than most of the alternatives, meaning you can make light work of getting your base into place!
The base will arrive in separate grids. The amount that you receive will vary on the size of the base. You will also receive a plastic weed membrane with the base delivery. This will ensure that you will not have any pesky shoots coming up through the base, whilst still allowing for water drainage into the below soil.

Now you have the necessary tools at your disposal, lets get into how to lay your base.
Your shed base is now ready to be built on, however you can also add pea gravel to the grids. This is completely optional, but pea gravel can help with drainage and make the base even more solid and reliable. Just using gravel around the edge of the base will also help to weigh down the weed membrane if you have not dug out a recess for the base. We recommend using gravel with is at least 10mm in diameter and you will need about 10kg per grid.
