Why do you need a concrete block floor for a log store?

It is a base for the structure rather than a floor and is to keep the
timber bearers off the ground - in the same way as one might do for a
garden shed. (I will be placing a damp proof membrane between the timber
and the base).

If the bearers are going to be spanning many blocks then if one sinks,
the vertical load will just transfer to the next one.

Just how high is this log store going to be? My gut feel is that medium
density would be fine.

They currently sit on paving, but I want to remove them to another part
of the garden whilst they are empty.

Surely they would be fine on medium density blocks? Wouldn't use
lightweights.
