Default Paving Slabs

Can anyone tell me what the standard size is for a paving slab and a
rough
cost per slab for a basic concrete type?

I need to lay a base in preparation for an 8'x6' garden shed and am

trying
to get an idea of how many slabs I'll need and their cost as well as the
building sand etc.

TIA


IMHO it is better to set huts and similar up off the ground to help
prevent rot, even if you lay a concrete base. Why not simply put down
brick piers for it to sit on? Much cheaper than slabs too.


when we eventually get around to buying a shed, we were planning on putting
it on a couple of paving slabs at each corner (we have a fair few available
after lifting the patio last year) - would that give enough height off the
ground? (and is it best to fill the space between the slabs underneath the
shed with gravel?)
