  • Finally started shed project, screw jack pile system was straight forward enough, 100mm screws holding frame together when we flipped it with piles attached.. then hammered into the pea shingle to sink piles checking everything in level

  • Very nice! Can you tell me more about the pile system and why you decided to use that? I'm looking to build something similar soon.

  • Thanks @hazzelfrazzel

    I originally put down a crate system when I cleared my garden. The plan was to have a standard shed sitting on that.

    But since then have decided to build a more substantial structure, but didn’t want to fall foul using a concrete base (area) affecting any extension I might add to the house later

    Pros using QuickJackPro Pile system

    • Long lasting
    • Can tolerate upto 15cm of adjustment on uneven ground
    • Can be used on hard and soft surfaces
    • Won’t be affected by damp
    • Enables air circulation under the building

    Cons using QuickJack Pile system

    • Adds overall height to building may affect local planning restrictions

    The base frame using 4x2” C24 kiln dried timber sections, same sections for wall and roof structure too.. 2x 9mm ply for the sub floor, two layers to cross lap joints. Roof deck will be 12mm marine ply hopefully on once roof arrangement is corrected..

    Roof lining, external wall cladding, Celotex insulation next purchase, then electrics..

    before photos from 2022, yep I had my own flagpole..
