If you draw the decking with approximate measurements I will tell you how to build it and what you will need..
ColinTheBald-
Thanks, that's really kind.
Decking in one spot is a definite* go, but I'm still negotiating on the walk way.
It's a classic stereotypical gender divide. I use the shed so want to be able to walk normally to it in the winter. My OH doesn't think it matters and isn't convinced on the aesthetics.
I actually think decking around the shed will look good providing there are plants. It will hopefully give another level to draw your eye to the side. Plus I think it will be fun for kids to run and jump off through interesting looking plants.

That's a good point.
I was hoping that filling the holes with sand would undo some of the compaction from over the years. But as you say if its heavy clay underneath then it's still not really being sent anywhere. Especially if it's only 10cm down.
No2 isn't even crawling yet. But No1 turned the lawn into a pile of mud pretty quickly. Not overly fussed. It's a lawn in a family house and TBH it's very lush and rugged most of the time.
The other thing I was thinking is putting decking over one of the worst sections where the path for the shed is. Then either side having grasses and other structural plants. It's just tricky finding something that loves being waterlogged and possibly frozen solid in ice and then blasted by sun all day in the summer.
I also really need to make some drawings of what I mean.
