Timber base pads make easy work of leveling your timber frame to be used as the base for your log cabin or garden building. Two sizes are available to cope with most moderate inclines of 0 - 140mm with a combination of pads.
Features:
Usage:
A timber frame base can be made from a variety of thicknesses and depths of timber. The strength comes from the depth (height) of the timber. Please see our Timber Frame Advice page. For timber such as 35mm x 50mm spacing must be 600mm or less. For thicker timber this can be increased to 1.00m - 1.50m or further. Ideally the base pads will be supported on a paving slab or similar and maybe bolted / screwed down as required. Weights of cabins are shown on the pages but consider the imposed loads you are applying inside the building.
As well as ideal for leveling timber frame bases these pads are perfect for decking construction.
These base pads feature an L-Shaped top that allows timber to be slotted on and up again, this means that if you need to support wider timbers than the base of the pad allows you can by simply alternating the position of the pads from left to right to left ect.
The thickest joist thickness is 90mm for base pads, but can take more if required. You will just need to ensure the next pad is face to the L shaped top is facing the opposite way so it's not able to slip.
Please Note. Most of our log cabins come with their own foundation beams, these beams are only their to act as a sacrificial barrier and are not in our opinion man enough to be used as a timber base and supported only at intervals.. When planning to use these base pads with our log cabins you will need your own timber base/structure directly on top of the base pads and underneath the first layer of log cabin logs.
