Hello,
the garden shed I ordered will be arriving soon. I have designated an area in the garden for it, where there are leftover building materials (curbstones, small concrete debris, and similar items). Gravel will be added on top of this and then compacted to create a stable base for the garden shed.
The garden shed comes with its own floor made of OSB3 panels and will be delivered with an underlying timber frame.
Now, I am thinking of placing the existing paving stones on the gravel, and then installing the timber frame on top of them. Or should something be placed between the paving stones and the timber frame?
Thanks for your feedback!

All right.
The base area for the garden shed has been compacted. However, it is not completely level. Is it possible to get it (almost) level by compacting, or is that hopeless? Since I want to lay the paving stones on the compacted gravel, which probably won't work well otherwise.

Since I want to lay paving stones on the compacted gravel, which probably won’t work well like that.With a bit of ready-mix concrete and a straightedge, it’ll work out. Just give it a try. My house stands on compacted gravel, with 30cm x 30cm (12in x 12in) concrete paving slabs set in concrete placed with spacing on top. Then the pads and the floor frame, all done myself. A quick question since I’m about to build my garden shed soon.
The foundation is a paved area. My plan is to skip the substructure and floor inside the garden shed, so the paving stones would serve as the shed’s floor.
I intended to place rubber pads under the lowest wall planks.
Is there any reason why this might be a problem? From photos, I usually only see sheds with a substructure and wooden floor.
