Check slope carefully before siting a large workshop — Brightlingsea
Brightlingsea customers should confirm the surface slope exactly where the proposed workshop will sit to avoid doors binding and equipment sitting out of level. Measure fall both along and across the footprint and allow for a 50–100mm level base or adjustable joists where required; a concrete or compacted Type 1 base is preferable for heavy floor loading. Provide clear access for bringing in panels and machinery, add fall-away drainage channels around the base, and include ventilation to control condensation in a large enclosed workshop space. For metal sheds buyers, confirm the exact specification and delivery postcode before purchasing.

Delivery, installation and preparation
Delivery options vary by product and postcode. Installation is available on selected garden buildings. Always check the product's base requirements before ordering and make sure there is suitable access to the delivery or installation area.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the usable garden area and allow space for access, doors, roof overhangs and maintenance. It is usually better to allow some spare internal storage space rather than buying to the exact minimum.
Can installation be arranged?
Installation is available on selected buildings. Availability depends on the product, postcode and base conditions, so our team will confirm the details before the order proceeds.
Do I need a base?
Yes. Every shed or garden building should stand on a firm, level and well-drained base. The base is the foundation underneath the building; it is different from the internal floor supplied with some sheds. Common options include concrete, paving slabs, timber frames and plastic base systems. Shop shed bases →
Do I need planning permission?
Many garden buildings in England can be installed under permitted development rights, subject to height, position and coverage limits. A key rule is that a building within 2 metres of a boundary is generally limited to 2.5 metres overall height. Listed buildings, flats and some restricted or designated properties need extra checks.
