BASE INFORMATION

​

We require the base for the building to be flat, level, square, compact, clear of debris, and not sloped. If you are unsure on what type of base will be suitable, please speak to Bourne Buildings, or alternatively, you can call or email us.

Please ensure there are no overhanging branches over the base, as during installation the team will need to fit the roof and roof covering, they will not be able to do this with overhanging branches, trees, or bushes. Please also ensure that your base has sufficient clearance from any trees or other structures to ensure the building can be installed, you also need to consider the style of your building ensuring there is nothing that will obstruct the roof overhang if your building has one.

For buildings 10’ in length or over and 7’ in width, the floor will be made in 2 or more sections.

If your base is made of concrete runs, bricks, wooden bearers, or frames you will need to ensure you have supports where the floor sections will join. The bearers will also need to run in the opposite direction to the floor joists within the floor of your building creating a crisscross formation (Floor joists always run the longest length as standard).

It is important to liaise with us if your base is one of the above or similar and provide a base layout when confirming your booking.

Buildings with lengths or widths 10ft or over the panels will be made in two or more sections.

If you have any queries regarding the construction of your building or your base, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Floor joists run the longest length as standard. If you would like your floor joists to run in the opposite direction, you will need to advise us in advance.

We understand there is a lot of information to consider, if you have any questions or need clarification on any of the information, please do not hesitate to contact us or Bourne Buildings.
