Gorilla Base: The Premium Garden Building Foundation
Are you in pursuit of the ideal foundation for your garden building? Your quest concludes here. We’re thrilled to present Gorilla Base, an innovative solution designed to ensure the enduring longevity of your garden building. This comes with robust warranties to provide you with genuine peace of mind.
Quick & Effortless Installation: Thanks to our groundbreaking ground screw technology, you can bid farewell to the inconvenience and time consuming nature of traditional concrete foundations. The installation process is not only straightforward but also remarkably swift. In fact, most bases can be completed in just a single day.
Environmentally Conscious: Join the eco-friendly movement with Gorilla Base. Our solution eradicates the need for concrete, significantly reducing environmental disruption while providing exceptional foundation support.
Lifetime Warranty on Ground Screws: Our unwavering confidence in the durability of our ground screws is substantiated by a lifetime warranty on these critical components. This guarantee ensures that your investment remains protected for the long term.
Custom-Made for Your Garden Building: Gorilla Base isn’t merely a foundation; it’s your steadfast ally in securing the long-term stability and durability of your garden building. Our bespoke timber frame plays a pivotal role in enhancing the lifespan of your
structure. By elevating your building and keeping it clear of direct contact with concrete, gravel, or slabs, we eliminate moisture absorption, thereby reducing the risk of rot. This is a critical safeguard, considering that moisture-related damage is a leading cause of
building deterioration. Moreover, our innovative design ensures there’s no splashback like with concrete bases, eliminating another common issue that leads to the rotting of the bottom of your building.
We acknowledge that the selection of the right foundation is a significant decision. This is why we are wholeheartedly committed to offering you a solution that combines innovation, durability, and an unwavering dedication to your satisfaction. Our venture into offering ground screws was inspired by the common challenges faced by garden building manufacturers. Traditional concrete bases were often poorly installed and uneven, resulting in various issues, from misaligned panels to doors and windows that wouldn’t function correctly. Gorilla Base was conceived as a superior alternative, setting new standards in garden building foundations.
Elevate your garden building experience today with Gorilla Base. Invest in a foundation that champions longevity and reliability, and bid farewell to the worries of an unstable and short-lived structure. Your garden building truly deserves nothing but the best.
Why Ground Screws?
Unlike traditional foundations, ground screws offer a swift and clean installation process. Utilising cutting-edge equipment, they firmly anchor into the ground, bypassing the mess and disruption associated with digging and concrete.
Moreover, ground screw foundations grant immediate construction access post-installation, allowing you to promptly embark on your garden room project. Our ground screws and installation equipment venture into areas where conventional foundations falter, facilitating projects in remote and challenging terrains. They establish a robust, level base even on steep or uneven ground, without the substantial excavation and labour expenses.
You can install them in hard-to-reach and off-grid locations, on sloping and irregular surfaces, in any weather, and without the need for digging, concrete, or untidy processes. Our ground screws are suitable for almost every ground and surface type. We can install in areas laid to tarmac, hardcore and even concrete. Further works are possibly required for these bases and will be priced accordingly. All prices are based on screws that are 1050-1200mm in length. Please see our T&C’s for further info. This translates to significant time and cost savings.
We can seamlessly install ground screws year-round, regardless of weather conditions, ensuring costly project delays become a thing of the past. Due to the non-invasive installation process, costs often prove lower than those of traditional concrete foundations. In projects with sloped or complex ground conditions, concrete costs can escalate significantly, making ground screws a more economical choice.
FAQ's
1. Does the cost include timber frames?
The retail cost includes screws, brackets, timber frames, and installation.
2. How much will the screws protrude from the ground (in mm)?
The screws won’t be flush with the ground; their protrusion depends on ground conditions, surroundings, and surface gradient. Ground screws offer advantages like airflow under the building, reducing the risk of floor rot and splashback.
3. What are the screw sizes?
Typically, screws are 1050mm and 1200mm in length, but shorter or longer screws may be used based on the situation, load-bearing requirements, and pricing adjustments as necessary.
4. What if the screws can’t be driven in far enough?
Ground screws can be installed in various ground conditions. Pilot holes may be drilled, shorter screws might be used, or additional screws may be required to meet load-bearing needs.
5. Is compacted hardcore an issue?
Compacted hardcore isn’t usually a problem. Additional preparation, like drilling pilot holes, may be required in some cases. The equipment used is powerful enough to handle most situations.
6. Can you provide specific plans for each order?
While it’s not feasible to provide unique drawings for every order, customers will receive information about screw locations, quantities, and timber frame details based on the square meterage of their building.
7. How much time is allocated for a 16x12 building?
On normal ground surfaces, completing a 16x12 building typically takes half a day. Variations and additional details are covered in the terms and conditions.
8. What timber will be used for the framework?
Our timber frames will be a minimum of 44mmx144mm, pressure treated. C16 or C24 structural grade.
9. Can ground screws be removed and reused?
Yes, ground screws can often be removed and reused, making them a sustainable choice for temporary or mobile structures.
10. Are there environmental benefits to using ground screws?
Yes, ground screws are considered more environmentally friendly than concrete foundations because they require less excavation, reduce soil compaction, and can often be reused, minimising waste.
11. Can ground screws support heavy structures like multi-story buildings?
Ground screws can be used for a wide range of structures, but the design and number of screws required will depend on the size and weight of the building. Consult with a structural engineer for large or complex projects.
