Before You Begin

Essential advice to ensure a smooth and secure installation of your Telluria garden building.

A FLAT AND LEVEL FOUNDATION

Before installing your Telluria building, it is essential that you have a foundation that is flat and level. Failure to create a flat/level foundation will mean spacers will be required, and this will create an opening under the frame where water can penetrate.

SMOOTH, NON-POROUS CONCRETE

If you intend to make us of a concrete surface, it is important that this is as smooth as possible to prevent water passing underneath. Porous concrete, joints, etc. will not result in an absolute seal.

ENSURE FOUNDATION IS CORRECT SIZE

We recommend making the concrete slab 10 cm wider than the building itself. It is best to slope this extra 10 cm away from the construction, so the water drains off naturally and does not pool against the building. We have a detailed concrete plan available for every Telluria outbuilding and you can request this via our email.

CORRECT ANCHORING

Telluria’s full range has been tested for wind resistance, however, it goes without saying that it is important to ensure the anchoring is done correctly. We supply standard anchor bolts suitable for a concrete surface. Please Note: These foundation tips are only suggestions and are not to be construed as technical advice. The customer is solely responsible for the provision of an appropriate foundation. We cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the shed either not being anchored or being insufficiently anchored.
