Level your base without specialized skills or getting measurements perfect the first time.
Testimonials collected and curated by LevelTheBase.
We had a 20cm slope and were unsure of the install, other methods were costly and we had a fixed budget so our sauna manufacturer recommended the BASIS system that they themselves installed. We are happy with how it turned out.
I saved over 4,000£, choosing BASIS instead of concrete for my project.
Each BASIS post includes diagonal braces with pre-drilled holes. Once your frame is level, cut blocking from scrap to match the brace angle, fasten it in place, then attach your skirting to the blocks.
Blocking is site-cut from your material (not pre-shipped) because brace angles depend on your specific ground conditions.
Blocks attach through pre-drilled holes once leveling is complete.
Blocks cut to match brace angle after posts are adjusted to final position.
Brace angle adapts to ground slope; blocking adapts to brace angle.
Skirting attaches to blocks; if posts adjust later, recut blocking without new hardware.
We recommend a BASIS support every 1.5m under your timber frame for optimal stability.
Here's our estimate.
Based on 1.5m max spacing
The support spacing here is calculated for a frame of 5×10 cm.
If your frame is 10×10 cm or more, less supports are required.
