Designing a level base on changing ground — Rawtenstall
Rawtenstall lies in the Rossendale Valley, where some gardens have changes in level. For any sloping individual plot, establish the level of the finished base before deciding on door threshold and overall building height. A workshop needs sufficient safe circulation around tools or machinery. Check the access route for large panels and keep water runoff from collecting beneath the building. For metal sheds customers, confirm the chosen product specification and delivery postcode before ordering.
These are general considerations, not an assessment of an individual property. Sheds Warehouse confirms product-specific availability using your postcode.

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.
