Aim
To design a footing base plate with adjustable height. This is to cope with uneven ground or a flood risk area
Method
Using a scaffolding 4 tonne Base Jack (cost £6.5) , turned upside down & inserted into a tube clamp hand rail holder. Then carrying on into a hole, so end is inserted into soft ground.
The base plate is made of 2 layers of cross facing composite door offcuts (top & bottom) nailed gunned with 75mm nails & glued with Everlast Lumberjack Pu glue (5 min cure)
A longer section of rebar is inserted as well. to a deeper depth.
Seperate 10-12mm rebar rods may be inserted at an angle if required. Alternatively a concrete fence post beam can be placed on top of the base plate. The concrete beam could be used as thermal mass, perhaps with a heat harvesting fluid pipe system from the roof.
The base or frame of shelter can be screwed. or preferably bolted to base jack via 4 holes
Side view. This would normally be filled by base sections
Close up of tube clamp, which would be bolted to base plate

Shows nut hammered into tube. Although a tight fit, edges have been bashed over to stop nut from coming out (testing will determine if thsi is necessary )
