Garden shed foundation
A garden shed or pavilion without a concrete slab
A garden shed, log cabin or pavilion stands on ground beams on ground screws. No slab, no digging and no curing: you carry on building the same day.
Why no concrete?
- No slab and no digging in your garden
- Ready to build on at once
- Level, even on a slope
- The floor stays dry, with air underneath
- Removable later, no concrete left behind
Which foundation?
Ground beams
The shed stands on ground beams resting on the screws. Our pile calculator works out how many.
Heavier or soft ground?
For a larger pavilion or soft ground we choose PRO ground screws or screw piles.

Frequently asked questions
How many ground screws does a garden shed need?
That depends on the size and weight. The pile calculator gives you an indication in one minute.
How deep does a ground screw go under a shed?
For structures that must not move, at least below frost depth, in practice 1.2 m or more.
Can a shed go on a slope?
Yes. By screwing deeper or shallower, all head plates end up at the same height.
