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!

Has anyone had experience with this or seen something like it?
The idea is to allow moisture to drain away while also providing almost barrier-free access.My friend did this, the only downside is that where there is no pad, air can pass through, so a mouse might get in; maybe put a mesh in front... At the entrance, there is still a wooden strip at the bottom for the door stop. So it’s not completely barrier-free.
