Prototype For Adjustable Height Footing Base Plate & Leg for Small & Light OutBuilding / Shelter Mk 3 & Mk 4. (untested)


  Following on from my previous "Prototype For Adjustable Height Footing Base Plate & Leg for Small & Light OutBuilding / Shelter Mk 1 & Mk 2. (untested) "

Mk. 3 with screwed bass plate. Base plate painted white,  screwed with galv. self tapping screws & sealed underneath with  Lumberjack - EverBuild  Pu Glue (5m-45m)

 Underside view with slats to water drainage or to allow a bit of sinkage


Variation / improvement on Mk 1  (Mk 1A)

Wider base, connecting strip around edge, Back side is not trimmed to make it even as it is hidden under shelter & this saves time / energy
 Side view

 Underneath view




 Mk.4 It can be filled with soil or water filled bottles for weight.

If required, all footings can be drilled & have several 50-100cm rebar inserted at 30-45 degree angle for extra grip on soil

 metal plate turned & screwd / glued at angle to cover more base strips

We've had a flood of water that has leaked and damaged some of the hardware, electronic collectables and clothes we sell to raise funds for our project

   We will let them dry out and then inspect them to see what can be salvaged
