advice on metal shed for allotment

[veg&kids]

I have read a lot of pro's and cons of metal sheds, however we have being given a second hand metal shed so can't look a gift horse in the mouth as it were!

It for the allotment and doesn't have a floor, any advice gratefully received - ZERO DIY skills/tools here!

At the moment it is sitting in our back garden ready to be transported to the allotment as permission to put it there has just being given. I'd like some advice on what to put it on.

Can we get away with a level area to sit it on or do we need something more substantial? We can get hold of wooden pallets that could be used as a base (if I can rope in a DIY friend!) but then we would also need something for the floor...

Thanks in advance & sorry if question seems silly!

A concrete base would probably be ideal if possible...Whatever solution you come up with, make sure you consider rats....and more importantly keeping them out!

I've just move a 2nd hand metal shed onto my plot to use as a store at the side of my shed. I have it sat on a large pallet that I cut down to size covered with thin plywood.

My thoughts are it would depend on the level of vandalism you get, if any and what your going to keep in it.

The thought being 'if you can lift it then so can they'.

Anything which has a padlock on it is advertising the fact that there are valuables within.
As for winds, you may well have to anchor it down with heavy duty rawl bolts but then it will either have to be on concrete as suggested or set on paving slabs.
Suggest you keep just pots, compost and other non-valuables inside and take your tools home with you.

Thanks for advice, I think we are going to go with paving slabs - had a friend take a look who is going to help out, he also suggested using timber to raise it as the pallets would rot quite quickly.
I don't have expensive tools, 2nd hand to be fair and the main point of the shed is so we don't have to keep taking tools back and forward! We are walking distance from our plot and at the moment we are still clearing it.

I will update how we go : )
