Didn't cost me anywhere near that to do a 15 x 10 base for my shed. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

I’m not wanting to do concrete because eventually, IF I can eventually be arsed, I’d like to landscape the garden since the whole thing is on a slight slope.
I won’t be keeping bikes in there, they won’t fit though the gate. Just general gardening supplies that are currently taking up valuable space in the garage that could be used for a bike or two.
Strangely, these slabs actually seem to work out cheaper than council slabs at a quick glance?

Proper council Slabs are 50mm thick. Usually 600x600 or 600x900. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

As it's not for a bike, I'd definitely just use a prefabricated wooden base. SO much easier to lay and to get a decent-looking, flat, level finish, and your back will thank you for not having to lug paving slabs around (and as you say this isn't permanent, will save you from having to move them out again later).
FWIW my own shed was already pretty old when I moved here 20+ years ago and it's decidedly tatty now (OK, it's falling down); however the floor is still as good as new. It just sits on some timber joists, which in turn stand on housebricks.
I'm sure Grandad could be persuaded to spring for the floor to be supplied along with the shed... makes sense all round! ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

I'm assuming the shed has it's own floor.
For garden stuff, I'd just use treated timber bearers (i.e. fence posts). If you want them to last 15 years, put a few bricks or breeze blocks in the ground and staple a bit of DPC to the bearers (can put multiple bits of DPC to do any five levelling). Lay them at 90 degrees to the runners on the shed floor. Won't get much cheaper than that.

My workshop was built on dirt with 3" of concrete poured inside on wackered sand & DPM for the floor. You don't need much for a shed, just make sure that whatever you're putting under the concrete is stable and it'll be reet. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Definitely liking this idea. I can always pave later on if I don't like it and it'll be easy enough to level as you say.
I wonder if I can get half a ton of sand in the back of the car... ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

Every time I’ve ordered sharp sand it’s been free delivery... (FYI it’s sharp sand you want to buy - just in case) ____________________ 1993 RF400R - 2002 Bandit 1200 - 2012 1250 FA |

But but but but... why do you want sand if you're going with syl's (and my) solution? Not needed!
So, OP - does your shed come with a wooden floor as standard or not? ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

My shed's been suspended on bricks with an air gap for 18 years. 50:50 mix of creocote and used engine oil for a manly aroma and less spiders. |
