Default Shed base

Hi all.
I've bought a 6' x 4' metal shed.
I don't want to drill holes in back yard
paving and the yard has a bit of a slope on it
Will a layer of sand inside a bit of shuttering do
for laying on 4x 5cm x 90cm x 60cm slabs?

Thanks.

Arthur


Not really.

The shuttering will rot or move, then the sand will erode and the slabs will
tip.
Far better to add a few spadefulls of cement to the sand to give a
semi-solid base for the slabs, and the shuttering can be taken down after a
week or two without any worries about erosion
