Gradients and variations on existing sites

Hardly any existing area in the garden is completely level. To ensure that your garden shed not only ‘sits flush’ but is also perfectly plumb, careful planning of the levelling work is essential. To determine the amount of preparation required, you must first establish the existing gradient. If you do not have laser measuring equipment to hand, this can easily be done with a 1-metre spirit level: measure the difference in height over a distance of exactly one metre and multiply this value by the total length of the shed. A gradient of 1 cm per metre results in a total height difference of 4 cm for a house length of 4 metres – a deviation that, without levelling, can lead to jammed sliding doors and stress cracks in the façade.

Adjustable feet as a standard solution: up to 6 cm of compensation

Our garden sheds are equipped as standard to handle minor unevenness. The special levelling feet can compensate for a height difference of up to 6 cm at the factory. However, for optimum stability and easy fine-tuning, we recommend allowing for a buffer of 3 to 4 cm. This leaves enough leeway to align the shed perfectly without pushing the levelling feet’s threaded rods to their limit.

Specific slope adjustment: If the ground level varies by more than 6 cm

If your existing site has a steeper slope and the absolute height difference exceeds 6 cm, conventional levelling feet reach their limits. In this case, we offer a specific slope adjustment for the entire garden shed. The structure is individually tailored to your sloping site – the result: despite the sloping ground, the Kubus stands visually harmonious and structurally sound within the landscape. This allows us to avoid unsightly large gaps between the ground and the bottom edge and guarantees maximum stability.
