    I prefer some ventilation under.

    You might consider fitting gutters and a directed downpipe to keep the runoff from the roof away from the base.

    And paint as soon as practical. Pretty hard this time of year.

    That’s a very good suggestion. It’s surprising how much water from the roof splashes up the side of a shed and can soon soak it. Gutters aren’t always the easiest to fit on shed roofs but they do help a lot.
  • The shed should be mounted on bearers to allow ventilation under the floor.
    Otherwise that floor will rot away very quickly.

    It is mounted  bearers - I have seen them being laid down.
