How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
There are a number of different options to create the necessary flat and level surface, and we're going to take you through four of them. All are ideal to prevent water collecting around the shed floor and damaging it. These four methods are how to lay:
- a timber base (also known as a portabase)
- a plastic base
- a paved base, and
- a concrete base
Both paved and concrete bases can't be laid straight onto soft ground and so require a sub-base. A concrete base also has a further extra step - constructing the frame or edging that supports concrete while it sets, this is known as formwork. So do bear in mind that these options can take longer to build than the timber and plastic bases.
Simply choose the one for you and read through the step-by-step advice on how to lay your shed base.

Snap and grow 8 x 6 Greenhouse
This greenhouse was speedily delivered, and was put together in about 4 hours, by 2 people, one looking at instructions and collecting the pieces needed from the outlay on the grass, the other assembling them, a third person (who wasn't necessarily needed) was holding the screws, and helped pick the greenhouse up to place on the plinth.
Easily done, if you stick to the instructions, and are methodical.
As previously stated the polycarbonate looks a bit flimsy, but time will tell, and it has been put in a sheltered spot.
All in all a good buy

Possibly One of the Safest on the Market
After a recent accident with my old greenhouse resulting in a visit to A&E and 6 stitches to my forehead I decided it was time to treat myself to a new greenhouse. The old one had too many sharp exposed metal corners and edges. I did extensive research and came up with this greenhouse as the best to suit my needs. As luck would have it it was on offer at 10% off but here's a tip for Diamond Card holders - order it in-store on a Wednesday and get a further 10% off! (final price £371). It arrived on my doorstep less than 24 hrs after I'd paid for it - pretty smart service if you ask me. At the moment it's still in the boxes as the rapid delivery has caught me a bit on the hop. But, I've had a good look at it and what I see confirms my research. While there are lots of bits its snap together construction system makes putting it together look pretty simple. The polycarb panels are fixed into the frame by a ridged locking system so I'm more than confident that it will withstand even the strongest of winds. (Polycarb is also much safer than horticultural glass - an accident with this stuff many years ago left me with a morbid fear of it). As a tall guy (6' 3") I like the door configuration which goes all the way into the apex. To give it a bit of extra height I'll be using the concrete plinth off my old greenhouse to fix it on - so no more cracking my head! The strengthening stays are in the corners and will not interfere with free passage in use. There are also no sharp metal corner junctions to snag skin on as all the junctions are made of plastic with blunt rounded corners. All in all I'm pretty chuffed with it. It is not only practical but also appears to be one of the safest on the market. I'll give further feedback when I've put it together which will be pretty soon as I've got lots of tender young plants needing a home

no problems!
bought this after much searching for a greenhouse. it took a long afternoon to put up, with not too many problems, took longer as i didnt look at directions for assembly! each piece being numbered which is a godsend as there are many parts. put a slab base down and sits on it well. no leaking and very pleased with item.

This is a good value for money purchase. Although the instructions say 'can be assembled by two persons in about 1/2 a day' it actually takes a little longer. nevertheless, following the instructions, It works! and looks very smart. a rubber hammer and an extra pair of hands from time to time are esential; although I completed 85% of it on my own: wife and neighbour obliged when two pairs of hands were needed. I think it also needs diagonal struts on the sides to prevent end to end movement in the wind; the same as is specified for the ends to prevent side to side movement. these have been ordered from the supplier who is very helpful. door adjustment takes patience. the inclusion of odd spare screws etc is very thoughtful but in my case was unnecessary.

Best Purchase Ever
Absolutely fantastic piece of kit. Great for seeds, bulbs, grow your own. Will easily pay for itself within 3 years instead of buying plants every season.

I like it
Never mind the nickname, I am happy really. It took two of us around 11 hours to put up including bolting to a cement foundation, well, I did most of the work so it could have been done quicker. The time included laying out all of the parts as per the page instructions so that everything was at hand when required. It is a bit fiddly at times especially trying to put the location pins into the roof struts, but hey, it added to the excitement, lol. The panels were mostly easy to install but alignment is key to getting them to slide into place. Still can't get the two piece door to fully align but it is not a major concern. We used wooden blocks to raise the finished built greenhouse so that we could slip the base in to location. We did it in sections and it was relatively easy doing it that way. Used 2 x B&Q greenhouse base anchor sets, product code EAN: 0000003832066 (additional cost of £4.98 per set) which were perfect for the job. So far, I am happy with the product and we have had some really windy days without problems. However, let's see how it lasts over the winter.

It rattles in the wind!
This was fairly easy to assemble, although it didn't often snap together, as advertised - the soft hammer was need quite a lot. In the recent high winds the flexible panelling whistles and rattles and is quite noisy. I am investigating how to reduce or preferably stop this - perhaps sealant between frame and panels will do the job?
