What the foundation needs to do

Outdoor bars vary from a small timber kiosk to a roofed masonry counter with fridges, sinks and heavy worktops. The right base follows the real structure and services rather than the label 'bar area'.

We can create a concrete, paved or framed platform with coordinated threshold and service routes ready for the chosen bar installer.

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.

Paving slabs

Paving-slab base

A well-built paved area creates an attractive floor for lightweight timber bars and freestanding furniture.

Often worth considering for: Open garden bars and entertaining terraces

From £620 for 9' × 5' (45 ft² / 4.18 m²)

Concrete

Concrete foundation

A slab provides firm support for masonry, heavy counters and fixed appliances and can receive a later decorative finish.

Often worth considering for: Built-in or roofed bars with substantial equipment

From £695 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)

Ground screws

Ground screws and support frame

Ground screws and a structural frame can carry an approved raised timber bar or deck where levels vary.

Often worth considering for: Sloping gardens and dry-built timber bar structures

Installed screws from £1,180 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²); frame quoted separately

Before installation

Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities

Include any roof posts or side walls in the plan; their structural supports are not defined by the counter footprint.

Electrical and plumbing work should be specified by the relevant trades. We can install agreed ducts and drainage groundwork but do not guess service requirements.

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.

— Verified Customer, SP6Concrete base for new summerhouse · Checkatrade

"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."
