Quick questions
Do I need a base?
Yes – every garden building needs a firm, level base, ready before your building is put up. Where we sell a matching base for this building, you’ll see it as an option above.
Prefer concrete? Our partner Midland Base Works lays precision concrete bases – ask us if they cover your area.
Do I need planning permission?
Many garden buildings don’t, but some do – it depends on the size, the height and where it goes in your garden.

- Standard glazed joinery included
Specification
- Cladding: 12mm tongue & groove shiplap as standard, with premier 18mm shiplap, 15mm loglap and 15mm pressure-treated upgrades available
- A note on thicknesses: these are finished, planed sizes – the standard cladding is 16mm sawn before planing, 12mm after.
- Frame: 32mm x 44mm round corner timber framing – all framing used inside our buildings is rounded on all four corners

Before your delivery day
Your base needs to be level, solid and the same size as the building's floor, and someone needs to be home to let the team in. Not sure about your base or your access? Send us a photo and we'll check it for you. Full details on our Sovereign delivery, installation and guarantee page.
Guarantee
Every Sovereign building carries a 1-year guarantee: within that period, any defect in the installation will be repaired or put right free of charge. Ex-display buildings and roofing felt are excluded. Please also keep up the spirit-based preservative treatment described above – on installation and annually thereafter – as letting it lapse can impair the building's performance and may invalidate any guarantees.
Delivery & installation
Delivery terms vary by brand and product – please check the product description above. Most buildings are made to order by the manufacturer and delivered direct to you – see our delivery & installation page for typical lead times, bases and installation, or contact us for your postcode.
