6x6 GARDEN SHED BASE GRID = FULL ECO KIT 1.84m x 1.7m + HEAVY DUTY MEMBRANE PLASTIC ECO PAVING BASES & DRIVEWAY GRIDS

Instructions were bit complicated but we worked it out. Definitely a two person job. Suitable for the shed we have

Does what is says. Fits together easily

Used under base of 6X6 Keter shed, just perfect.

I bought this base for my new shed (the Keter Apex Resin 6x6) and, in all honesty, it’s a real pain to put together.First of all, the dimensions of the base aren’t even 6ftx6ft, so when I assembled the shed there was a lot of overhang on every side, meaning we had to put stone chippings under each side to prop it up.The sheet membrane that comes with the base is truly enormous. I didn’t measure it exactly, but it was easily about 12ft long. This meant we had to fold the membrane over, which meant putting the pegs in the ground interesting (more on that coming up).The ground, obviously, needs to be completely level when you’re putting this base together. I don’t mean “there or thereabouts”, I mean COMPLETELY level in every single direction. I’d prepped the ground weeks before purchase, and even got the spirit level out to make sure it was all level. But when we put the panels down on top of the membrane, suddenly nothing was level. It turned out to be a combination of the membrane having ridges in it, the honeycomb centre of the panels cutting in to the ground at funny angles, we honestly spent about 2hrs trying to get the whole thing level but just gave up in the end and carried on regardless.To hold the panels together, you get a lot of strange “U-shaped” plastic clips. The way we had the panels set up, we needed to use 14 of the clips to hold the panels together. You’d think that, given the “U shape” of the clips you’d put the two prongs in the ground to secure the panels. But no, you actually need to put the other, FLAT end of the clips in the ground! Meaning that, once the membrane is down and the panels are arranged, you then need to get on your hands and knees and violently stab multiple large holes through the membrane into the ground. Crazy.In all honesty, I wish I hadn’t bothered with this base and had just bought some paving slabs and a load of sand. Would have taken me half the time to put that together compared to these plastic panels, and the Mrs wouldn’t have threatened to kill me 15 times when putting it together.

Well this product seems like a good idea and for all intent and purpose it is until you come to use it. Just took myself and my partner around four hours to lay a six by six ft area. Your ground needs to be ultra flat i mean ridiculously flat. Get a steam roller in first and get them to come back again to double make sure. The clips are a fiddle and need to be anchored into the ground after you have levelled it off so you end up standing on it and hey presto its not level due to your having to dig in the clips under the tarp... Then there is the bending and straining at ground level to get the clips in the ground my back is aching i can tell you. Then theres the gravel to fill it in we bought four large bags around 15kg each this was not enough so back to the D.I.Y store for more. buy more than you will need i would say about six bags for an area our size. .. Like one of the previouse reviews i wish i had bought a load of sand and some flag stones...

Easy to follow instructions and does what its meant to do

Pegs are difficult to get into the ground, and you end up having to lift sections up to secure. But quite sturdy and easier than slabs
