Hi.
I have ordered a metal shed thats 1.5m square.
I don't want to dig up the paving stones to build a concrete base
so I'm going to use decking joists and boards.
I also think its an ok idea to buy extra joist lengths to screw down
on top of the decking platform to provide extra headroom.

Anyone got any suggestions/warnings on this idea?


You'll need to make sure that it's well anchored to the ground as per the
assembly instructions, otherwise it is likely to blow away.

I put a 10x8 metal shed up last year and wanted to avoid laying joists and
boards, which would have lost a lot of head room inside the shed.
I put down 2 layers of pond liner topped with Sterling board cut to fit the
base.
The pond liner was cut large so that it not only gives a waterproof base,
but also goes up some centimetres up the inside of the shed walls so that
water can't encroach from outside.
Anchor bolts attach the shed to the original concrete slab it sits on.
