Starting off square and level is essential to a successful shed assembly and we recommend that you consider a base kit to self-square the shed and help level the site. Base kits are available for the majority of Arrow sheds. The base kit must be assembled with your selected floor finishing option before you start to build your shed. Use the flooring material that best suits your needs, such as wood, patio blocks, or gravel. The base kit may also be used as a form for pouring concrete. Find the base kit size for your shed.
This is unit is not compatible with EZEE Shed models.
The Arrow base kit is made of durable hot-dipped electro-galvanized steel
Keeps building and stored items off the ground
Easy to install
Includes all hardware
Does not include floor all finishing materials (If finishing with wood flooring, use exterior-grade plywood, measured to base kit dimensions.)

8x10 base kitPieced come together nicely and made a nice square frame for my shed. The only issue I had was that all the pieces are made the same size so when you have to slide one into the other it causes a bulge and makes it so the holes don't want to line up the best and the joint bulges.

UselessHard to level it on uneven ground, can not use pressure treated wood according to specifications!!!!???
If I use this base kit, for your 6x8 shed, with 3/4 inch plywood on top, what's the max weight I could put inside? Want to store my motorcycle inside, which weighs roughly 860lbs.
Asked by: MikeMike
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your question. It's 500 pounds Evenly Distributed. If storing a motorcycle, you will need to build a Wood Deck or pour concrete. If you have any other questions or wish to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-851-1085 (press 1).

Asked by: steveo
Hello,
Per the assembly instructions, the suggested wood/concrete base for this shed is listed as 68 1/2" x 56 1/2". Please note that the platform should be level and flat (free of bumps, ridges etc.) to provide good support for the building and Pressure Treated Lumber must not be used where it will make contact with your storage building. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to call us at 1-800-851-1085 (press 1).

For a 10x6 shed, have 2 questions for FDN106 base: does every inch of base frame perimeter have to be supported by blocks and the load limit for entire Plywood floor on base is 200-300 lbs? Will you have the FDN106 in stock in near future?
Asked by: Mike1222
Hello,
There are several options for constructing the base, such as wood, gravel, and pouring concrete. Whichever choice you decide to construct the base with, the whole base kit perimeter must be fully supported because the platform needs to be level and flat (free of bumps, ridges, etc.) to provide good support for the building once you start to erect it. As for replenishment details, please call in at 1-800-851-1085 (press 1).
