Shed Base

Hi chaps,

Putting down a new shed next week, 10x10.

It’s going down on grass as I dont want the concrete base. Looking at two bases and would appreciate any opinions or experience:

If the shed already has a floor why not just put it in 6 lengths of 4x4.
Why over complicate a simple job?

It’s going to be going down on grass so 6x4 would just rot out.

Gravel Grid (top item) probably provides more stability, won’t likely move. However you’ll need to get the sub-base flat and lay onto a layer of sand.

Item two gets around that problem, as you can (I suspect) level the legs, however I’d suspect it will be more bouncy and less solid.

You can probably get the gravel grids cheaper from a purpose supplier e.g. matsgrids, rather than Wickes. You might also be able to build the shed base cheaper, but more work that.

Thanks Pheo!
