What the foundation needs to do
A caravan concentrates load through tyres, steadies and a jockey wheel, so soft gravel tipped over soil soon develops ruts and hollows. The sub-base and edge restraint do most of the structural work.
We build permeable gravel, grid, paved or concrete hardstandings to the actual caravan length, access path and turning arrangement.
Options, assessed properly
Suitable foundation methods
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
Concrete
Concrete foundation
A designed concrete hardstanding provides a robust permanent surface where impermeable runoff is lawfully managed.
Often worth considering for: Heavy use, maintenance areas and sites where a slab is approved
A written price for the approved detail
Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
For front gardens in England, permeable-surfacing rules and drainage arrangements can affect whether planning permission is needed. A dropped kerb or new access is a separate approval matter.
Site pitches can use compacted gravel or grid systems; construction depth and drainage depend on ground, traffic and intended all-season use.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.
