Metal Garden Sheds with Floor: The Ideal Solution for Your Outdoor Space.
When searching for the perfect garden shed for your home in the Community of Madrid, durability and protection are undoubtedly top priorities. While the shed's material is fundamental, the foundation it rests on is equally crucial for its longevity and the safekeeping of your belongings. At Ibercasetas , we understand this perfectly, which is why we highlight the advantages of our metal garden sheds that include or are compatible with a floor kit —a comprehensive solution that enhances and protects your investment.
Forget your worries about rising damp, instability, or complex foundation work. With a metal shed and its well-planned floor, your outdoor space will become a model of functionality and durability.
The Floor Kit: The Foundation of Durability and Protection
One of the most valued features of our Duramax Alpine metal garden sheds is the option of an integrated or compatible floor kit . This kit is not just a base; it's an essential part of your shed's protection and stability.
1. Anchor Preparation: Lasting Stability
The ground kit provides a robust perimeter structure that facilitates firm and secure anchoring of the shed to the ground. This is a critical step to ensure the stability of your shed, especially in areas exposed to strong winds (up to 80-90 km/h) such as those occasionally recorded in our region. Proper anchoring prevents movement, deformation, and, in extreme cases, displacement of the shed, ensuring the integrity of the structure and the safety of its contents.
2. Gravel Layer: Optimal Drainage and Stabilization
Once the floor kit is assembled, the interior space of the base can be filled with a layer of gravel . This step offers several advantages:
- Efficient Drainage: The gravel allows rainwater to filter through quickly, preventing accumulation under the shed and significantly reducing humidity. This is vital to prevent long-term corrosion of any metal components that may be in contact with the ground.
- Level Stabilization: Helps to level the surface evenly, which is essential for the correct assembly and operation of the shed, especially for the smooth closing of doors.
3. Particleboard: A Firm and Protected Surface
A layer of particleboard (or similar, such as marine plywood or laminate flooring) can be installed on top of the gravel layer and within the frame of the flooring kit. This addition creates a completely flat and solid interior surface, offering key benefits:
- Raised and Dry Floor: The particleboard raises the interior floor level, separating it from direct moisture from the ground. This extra height is essential to prevent the shed's interior from getting wet due to rain splashes or rising damp from the ground.
- Greater Comfort: Provides a clean and uniform surface on which to walk, work or store objects, improving comfort and organization of space.
- Additional Protection for Contents: By keeping your tools, bicycles, machinery, or any other belongings away from direct contact with the ground, you reduce the risk of deterioration from moisture or dirt.
Key Advantages of Height and Interior Protection
The combination of the floor kit with the gravel and the chipboard gives your metal garden shed decisive advantages:
- Always Dry Interior: Elevation and drainage prevent the accumulation of water and moisture, which is crucial for the preservation of metal tools, electronic equipment, documents, or any moisture-sensitive material.
- Increased Shed Lifespan: By minimizing the contact of the shed base with ground moisture, wear and tear is reduced and the lifespan of the entire structure is considerably extended.
- Greater Insulation (basic): Although metal sheds are not airtight by nature, the elevation of the ground contributes to a minimum of thermal insulation, making the interior slightly warmer and less susceptible to extreme fluctuations in ground temperature.
- Ease of Cleaning: A solid, raised floor is much easier to sweep, vacuum, or hose down, maintaining the hygiene inside your shed.
- Pest Protection: By creating a physical barrier and reducing humidity, it is difficult for insects and rodents to access the inside of the shed.
