No, pressure treated wood. Using bearers at right angles to the floor joists minimises the contact area for damp from below. Also allows air to circulate underneath.

Ah, gotcha. Looks good!

I've got pressure treated 4x4s as suggested. But the ground underneath was so uneven I had to put the flagstones on top of a load of sand to get them close to level, which is actually what the shed instructions said to do. If the sand washes away, will my shed collapse?
If I remember rightly, it wasn't the wise man who built his house upon the sand.

My old man suggested bits of damp-proof membrane between the bearers and joists too. That's what I'm doing for my shed when it gets ordered later this week.

So vertically, it goes: concrete, bearers, joists, floor boards?
Are bearers and joists required?

You using plastic joists? Heard good things about them...
