Do I really need a firm, level base for my shed?

When it comes to building an Asgard shed, one of the most important factors to consider is the base on which it will sit. A strong and level base is essential to ensure that your shed is secure, and that the doors line up correctly. Asgard sheds are renowned for their high level of security, and this is due in part to the precision engineering that goes into their design. As such, it is important to ensure that the base on which your shed will sit is level, firm and built to the correct size.

The size of the base required for your Asgard shed will depend on the specific model you have chosen. On each product page, you will find the shed base dimensions listed under the 'dimensions' tab. It is recommended that your shed base be built to at least this size, and be a minimum of 50mm/2" thick. However, if you plan on installing a ground anchor, your shed base should be at least 100mm/4" thick.

It is important to note that the shed base should be built slightly larger than the shed itself. This is to ensure that the shed can be bolted down securely without the impact of the drill causing the concrete below to break and crumble. All Asgard sheds can be bolted down to a concrete base, providing an added layer of security.

Another important factor to consider when building your shed base is the weight of the shed itself. Asgard sheds are the heaviest on the market, with some models weighing over 76 stone. This means that a firm and level base is essential to support the weight of the shed and ensure that it remains stable over time.

In summary, building a strong and level base for your Asgard shed is essential to ensure its security and stability. To find the recommended shed base dimensions for your specific model, refer to the product page on the Asgard website. Remember to build the base slightly larger than the shed itself, and to ensure that it is at least 50mm/2" thick (or 100mm/4" if installing a ground anchor). With the right base in place, you can be confident that your Asgard shed will provide secure and reliable storage for years to come.
