I'd like to put a shed in my garden, which is paved. Now I realise it will need a base, but what would you recommend to go on top of paving slabs and ideally be reversible?

I built my own shed in one area of the garden as I needed a custom size in a right angle of two walls. It too is on a patio area and stands on pressure treated 4x2 bearers and has been there for about 7 years with no issues. I screwed through the floor into the bearers to keep it all together.

Make sure that you run the timbers along the fall of the patio so that draining water runs away rather than pools along the timber length.

Piece of pud if you already have the patio.
