Four practical base options

One town, many garden layouts

A shed base matched to your part of Poole

A terraced garden in Parkstone, a long route in Oakdale and a larger plot around Hamworthy can demand different ways of moving materials and setting the final level. The shed itself may also need either full-area support or a specific bearer layout.

JustBases brings those decisions together. Start with the building size and Poole postcode, then receive a clear recommendation and written price rather than a list of homework.

Choosing the construction

Support the building you are actually buying

We check the shed specification before deciding how much ground preparation and support it needs.

Concrete workshops

A full slab is often a strong choice for heavier buildings and machinery.

Everyday storage sheds

Paving slabs or a properly specified frame may be more proportionate for lighter buildings.

Tighter or uneven plots

Raised frames and ground screws are considered when their access and support advantages genuinely fit.

Three easy steps

From first call to a shed-ready base

You do not need to work out the construction first. Tell us about the shed and garden; we will explain the suitable choices and price the agreed work.

  1. 01

    Call, WhatsApp or send the form

    Share the shed size, your postcode and what you know about the proposed position. That is enough to begin.

  2. 02

    Discuss the base and price

    Craig listens, arranges a site visit when it would help and provides a clear written quotation for the agreed foundation.

  3. 03

    We install the level base

    The team marks out and installs the chosen base to the agreed footprint, ready for the shed installation to follow.

Four practical choices

Choose the base that suits the shed and garden

You do not need to choose before contacting us. We compare the building, access, levels and intended use, then explain the simplest suitable option.

Prepared poured concrete base for a garden building

Poured concrete

A full-area slab for heavy sheds, workshops and buildings whose supplier requires a rigid continuous base.

  • Installed to the agreed footprint and finished level
  • Useful for heavier equipment and substantial timber buildings
  • We confirm when the shed installation can safely follow

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

Raised timber frame base being installed for a garden building

Raised timber frame

A treated support frame for suitable sheds on uneven or sloping gardens where a level platform is needed.

  • Supported at planned positions rather than across the full footprint
  • Can reduce excavation where garden levels change
  • Built to suit the shed footprint and bearer arrangement

From £840 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)

Level paving slab base prepared for a small garden building

Paving slab base

A neat, level surface for many smaller sheds when the building supplier accepts a slabbed foundation.

  • Individual slabs laid on a properly prepared sub-base
  • Practical for storage sheds and compact garden buildings
  • Base dimensions coordinated with the shed before installation

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

Ground screws supporting a level timber frame in a garden

Ground screws

Installed galvanised supports for a suitable timber or steel frame, often with less full-footprint excavation.

  • Purpose-made machinery and laser-controlled levels
  • No concrete curing delay after the installed supports are checked
  • Support frame supplied by JustBases or coordinated with others

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

Local ground context

Poole's mapped sand and clay still require a site view

The Poole Formation includes both sand and clay units, so describing every Poole garden as one ground type would be misleading. Urban fill, patios, drains and decades of landscaping further change the near-surface conditions.

We look at the intended base area and drainage, then select preparation and support suited to the building rather than relying on the BH postcode.

  • No speculative soil claim is used to sell a particular base
  • Existing hardstanding can be assessed
  • The quoted construction states what preparation is included

Access handled with you

From compact terraces to larger suburban plots

Poole access can mean a narrow passage, shared driveway, garage route or a longer carry behind an established home. Different base systems use different materials and equipment, so access is considered while the options are still open.

Tell us about obvious pinch points. We will ask for photographs or arrange a visit only when it will genuinely help.

Helpful if you have them—not required before you call:

  • Narrowest point from road to garden
  • Parking or loading restrictions
  • Any existing base to remove or extend
Start with the basics

Useful local guidance

Poole planning depends on the complete proposal

Domestic outbuildings may fall within permitted development, but height, position, use and the home's status all matter. Some Poole addresses also sit within conservation areas or have tree constraints.

Use BCP Council's current guidance for the shed as a whole. JustBases can discuss its foundation while you confirm any property-specific permission question.

BCP Council planning ↗

Planning information is a practical starting point, not legal or planning advice. Confirm the position for the exact property and building with the relevant authority.

Choosing the building

Shed suppliers serving Poole

Ask the chosen supplier for external dimensions and the required support arrangement so the base and delivery can be coordinated.

Dorset Sheds ↗

Wimborne-based family business supplying sheds and other timber garden buildings.

Coastal Garden Buildings ↗

Christchurch supplier of sheds, workshops and other installed garden buildings.

Golden Larch ↗

Timber-building supplier covering the central South Coast, including Hampshire and Dorset.

These are independently researched links, not endorsements or paid relationships. Confirm the current range, delivery area and base requirements directly with the building supplier.
