Choosing floor support for heavy equipment and loads — Great Harwood
Great Harwood buyers putting heavy equipment into a garden building should design the floor with load distribution in mind: use close-spaced joists, a quality damp-proof membrane and a concrete or reinforced timber subframe that spreads point loads from machines or tool cabinets. Fix heavy items to the floor or wall with suitable anchors and consider steel plates under feet to prevent crushing joists. Verify the base will be stiff and level to keep doors operating correctly, and leave service access for future underpinning or strengthening if layout changes require repositioning of large equipment. For wooden 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 →
Are wooden sheds waterproof?
Wooden garden buildings are designed to be weather-resistant rather than completely waterproof. Correct assembly, a level base, a properly fitted roof covering, timber treatment and ventilation all help keep the building dry and performing well. Read our wooden shed care guide →
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.
