The normal recommendation for boxes is a concrete floor with a single course of engineering bricks to carry the sections and to act as a dampcourse. Harlows provide galvanised stays to anchor the building firmly to the base after the building has been erected.

• Sitework and Preparation of Bases are the customers responsibility
• We supply dimensioned working drawings free with every order
• Please note a certain amount of waste material is to be expected and will be left in a neat pile for customers disposal
• Also a Stall Building would require the customer to provide a forklift/Teleporter facility to off-load sections from our lorry. If this is not possible, Harlows would arrange to do this at an additional cost.
