Shed bearer question

[LordFrederickIII]

Hi,

I'm looking at getting a new shed installed. The current base is concrete and the existing shed is on bearers as the area can get very wet (lots of trees and foliage about).

The new shed is on tanalised runners that will raise it 1.5 inches of the ground.

Should I still put bearers down? I can put 6x1 down to minimise the height (6x2 might be too much), or will the 1.5 raise from the runners suffice?

Thanks

They may help with air flow or if you need to level up the base to stop it twisting or bowing, otherwise are not necessary.

If the slab is larger than the footprint of the shed put bearers down to keep the base clear of the wet slab.

If the slab is larger than the footprint

The curse of many a sectional garage and very valid point.

At the OP...adding bearers may mean adding a step, which may or may not be a reet PITA.
