Shed Base Company

The Garden Range is part of GCL Products Limited, which trades as The Garden Range. The company is based in the UK. Its plastic shed base is made entirely from recycled plastic sourced and processed in the UK and remanufactured in Yorkshire. The shed base grid panels are proven to withstand 428 tonnes per m² of compression before being filled with gravel.

The shed base panels are 97% open and fully permeable. The shed base panels connect using a slot and peg system with 12 integrally moulded nodes per panel. The company supplies garden base kits suitable for greenhouses, sheds, summerhouses, log cabins, garages and bin stores. GCL Products Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Homeowners installing sheds, greenhouses, log cabins and summerhouses make up much of the customer base turning to Shed Base Company for its plastic base grids, supplied from Sheepbridge Lane in Chesterfield. A theme that recurs is how much simpler the grids are to put down than mixing concrete or setting paving slabs, with several buyers describing a finished job within a few hours using pea gravel as infill.

Reviewers mention success on uneven ground, including over old railway sleepers, and value the way the panels can be broken into smaller sections, useful when shaping the base around awkward corners. Fast delivery and helpful customer service come up often, alongside praise for clear answers given before an order was placed when buyers were unsure about quantities or suitability for their project.

Several customers report placing repeat orders, having used the bases beneath more than one shed and a log cabin, or added an extension to an earlier installation, and one describes a child assembling an 8 by 10 foot grid in twenty minutes. Others have applied the product beyond sheds, using it as a gravel retainer for driveway areas and for drainage purposes around the garden. The business operates weekday mornings and afternoons, with a shorter finish on Fridays and no weekend trading hours.
