Minimal Site Disturbance

Each post requires a gravel pad approximately 40-50cm square. For a typical shed using 8-12 posts, total disturbed area is 2-3 m². This compares to traditional foundations excavating 15-25 m² for continuous trenches or full pad areas.

Yes. Components are hand-portable and pass through access paths as narrow as 60cm. Transport through garden gates, along side yards, between trees, or across existing landscaping without creating equipment corridors.

Minimal. Posts bolt together on-site with no cutting or mixing. No formwork lumber to dispose of, no concrete waste, no excess materials. Site cleanup involves grading around gravel pads if desired.

Installation uses hand tools: wrench for post adjustment, spirit level for checking alignment. No jackhammer, concrete mixer, or heavy equipment operation.

Shallow excavation (20-30cm) for gravel pads reduces utility strike risk. Posts can be positioned to avoid known utility lines. Traditional deep excavation increases risk of damaging underground infrastructure.

Minimal. Ground disturbance limited to gravel pad footprints. No large excavation backfill, no equipment rut repair, no reseeding of destroyed areas. Existing lawn continues around pad locations.

Yes. Hand-portable components eliminate heavy equipment that compacts soil and damages roots. Position posts between root zones rather than excavating through them. Trees remain undamaged.

No. Individual posts maintain natural grade and drainage patterns. Elevated structure (150-600mm clearance) allows water to flow naturally beneath. Traditional excavation and continuous foundations often redirect water flow, creating new drainage issues.
