Hi,
I looking to to make an 8x6 timber shed base. the idea is that it will sit on the ground and I will use stakes to hold it in place. The question i have is what kind of wood should I use. I have decided on 3x2 but am unsure if just getting pressure treated 3x2 will be ok for it to sit directly on the ground. The 2 links below, one to wickes which says it cannot be in direct contact to the ground and one to B&q which says ok for all outdoor projects. Which one should I be going for? I dont want it rotting away after a couple of years? Many Thanks
