The Gorilla Base
Why Groundscrews?
Unlike traditional foundations, ground screws offer a swift and clean installation process. Utilising cutting- edge equipment, they firmly anchor into the ground, bypassing the mess and disruption associated with digging and concrete.
Moreover, ground screw foundations grant immediate construction access post-installation, allowing you to promptly embark on your garden room project. Our ground screws and installation equipment venture into areas where conventional foundations falter, facilitating projects in remote and challenging terrains. They establish a robust, level base even on steep or uneven ground, without the substantial excavation and labour expenses.
You can install them in hard-to-reach and off-grid locations, on sloping and irregular surfaces, in any weather, and without the need for digging, concrete, or untidy processes. Our ground screws are suitable for almost every ground and surface type.
We can install in areas laid to tarmac, hardcore and even concrete. Further works are possibly required for these bases and will be priced accordingly. All prices are based on screws that are 1050-1200mm in length. Please see our T&C’s for further info. This translates to significant time and cost savings.
We can seamlessly install ground screws year-round, regardless of weather conditions, ensuring costly project delays become a thing of the past. Due to the non-invasive installation process, costs often prove lower than those of traditional concrete foundations. In projects with sloped or complex ground conditions, concrete costs can escalate significantly, making ground screws a more economical choice.
Environmentally sustainable future awaits, driving down carbon emmissions
Concrete’s environmental impact is substantial. By opting for ground screws, you contribute to a more sustainable approach. While it’s a small change, collectively, these choices lead to a greener future.
Choosing ground screws means swifter installations with minimal disruption for your customer and minimal damage to their garden. Together, you aid in environmental preservation by avoiding concrete foundations.

Why Choose a Gorilla Base?
• Install in hard to access and off grid areas, making more projects possible
• Install all year round and in any weather, avoiding costly project delays
• Install over sloping and soft ground, without heavy or impossible excavation
• Build on ground screws right away, 70% faster than concrete foundations
• Install without digging up and damaging landscapes, tree roots and natural habitats
• Increase longevity as building floor will not be in direct contact with wet surfaces
• Increase building longevity no splash back from hard ground surfaces that rot the lower part of the building with concrete, slabs or gravel.
• Save time , avoid costly delays,and protect the environment with ground screws • Average 20m2 concrete base co2e = 720kg
• Average 20m2 Ground Screw base co2e = 137.1kg
Why Not Concrete?
A concrete base for garden buildings presents several significant disadvantages. Firstly, the process of excavating the site and pouring concrete can be time-consuming, disrupting your garden for an extended period. Secondly, achieving a perfectly level and uniform concrete base is a challenge and very rarely achieved, any irregularities can compromise the stability and structural integrity of the garden building, potentially leading to misaligned panels to doors and windows that won’t function correctly.
Additionally, concrete bases lack flexibility, as they are permanent fixtures, making it challenging to adapt or relocate the structure in the future or upon sale of your house. Moreover, the environmental impact of concrete production is considerable, involving the extraction of raw materials, energy-intensive processing, and greenhouse gas emissions. for a Gorilla base will provide a more practical, flexible and sustainable solution, addressing these drawbacks while ensuring a solid foundation for your garden building.
