Everything you need to know
The 5x3 wooden shed base measures W-147cm x D-94cm, a neat, low-footprint foundation suited to small sheds, bike stores and compact garden buildings. The extra width over a 4x3 gives a little more room while staying easy to handle and level.
Set the height to suit your plot using one of three timber depths - 38x63mm, 38x89mm or 38x138mm - handy for keeping timber clear of a damp lawn or evening out gentle slopes. Supplied as pre-assembled sections, the base goes together by connecting the ready-made parts, with no frame to build from raw timber.
It is an approachable project for first-timers and a fast one for seasoned DIYers. All the necessary fixtures and clear, easy-to-follow instructions come included, so you can install the base and personalise your project exactly as you like.

What you are getting
A closer look at how the Wooden shed bases 5x3 (W-147cm x D-94cm) is put together and who it suits. Timber is a living material: it will move a little with the seasons and silver over time unless you re-treat it. Measured up it is width 147cm, depth 94cm - worth checking against the space you have before ordering.

Shed Base - what actually matters
Anything that lives outdoors in the UK has to cope with sustained damp rather than dramatic weather. Drainage, airflow and how the unit sits on the ground do more for its lifespan than the headline material. If you want the longer version, read the full range.
Looking after it
- Re-coat with a clear or tinted exterior wood treatment every two to three years.
- Keep the base clear of piled soil and leaf litter so the timber can dry out.
- Check fixings once a year and nip up anything that has worked loose.
Delivery and returns
UK mainland delivery is free over £100 and usually lands within 5-7 working days. Larger items travel by pallet to kerbside, so arrange help to move them. You have 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 - see returns and delivery.

Assembly time depends on the size — storage boxes take 15–45 minutes, benches around 30–60 minutes, sheds and bin stores 2–3 hours with two people. Exact figure for this product is in the Full specification table below. Tools needed: a screwdriver and a spirit level. Prefer someone else to build it? Book a verified Tasker via Taskrabbit.
A level, solid surface gives the best result for sheds and larger storage units — concrete slab, paving flags, or a pressure-treated timber base all work. Storage boxes sit on any level paved or decked surface. If the ground isn't level, panels won't line up cleanly and the unit won't be fully weathertight.
