Static Field Shelter Foundations
A static field shelter needs secure wind-resistant support and a durable standing area that does not become deeply poached in wet weather.

What the foundation needs to do
Mobile shelters on skids and permanent static shelters are different projects. A fixed timber field shelter commonly uses a concrete base or a proprietary foundation pack, with planning implications that should be resolved first.
We install the approved permanent foundation and can discuss a hardened apron or drainage around the open front.
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.
Ground screws
Ground screws and support frame
An engineered screw and frame system may support a suitable static shelter with limited wet concrete, subject to wind and animal-floor design.
Often worth considering for: Approved lightweight shelters on slopes or remote sites
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
A shelter fixed to a concrete foundation is generally treated differently from a genuinely mobile shelter. Confirm planning before committing to a static base.
The animal standing surface may extend beyond the structural footprint to manage entrance poaching; include it in the requested scope.
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.

"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."

Usually a mobile shelter is designed to remain movable on skids. A permanent concrete base can change both its operation and planning status.
