Ground Work for New Garden Shed or Not?

[MoonMan2]

I think my shed is needing replaced, it's around 27 years old:

It also lets in the rain.

I read that before placing a shed; you can prepare the land/bedding for the new one (i.e. geotextile fabric, aggregates, compaction, sand), put slabs down and then build a new shed on top?

I contacted a company who boasts of their great garden sheds, saying they’ll remove the old one and do all the work. They responded by saying:

“The only thing we do not offer is any ground work. All of our sheds come with 4x2 pressure treated battens that we would out down and level then your floor goes on top of that.”

It seems like they are avoiding the most important aspect that involves the most skill?

Advice please?

At the very minimum you could raise the shed off the ground with concrete fence posts laying directly on the ground. Or go the whole hog as you suggested.

Got to say your neighbours are antisocial leaving that mess for you and next door to look at with their on trend slats. Probably also above 6 foot which makes them illegal i think
