...in brick?

Just wondering if I need foundations or build straight onto concrete base under existing wooden one?

If it's built in brick then it wouldn't be classed as a "temporary" structure and so may be subject to building regulations

If the existing base is sound, it's a straight replacement. If not you might be able to patch/fix it. Having it stable and level is the main thing. If the ground is stable you can even just build onto properly set slabs. It's a good idea to place timber bearers down too. It will help stop the floor rotting sooner. A lot of the self assembly galvanised sheds are good too.

Depends on the thickness of the base and if it has re-bars around the outside edge which I doubt.

If you can maybe dig a strip foundation around the edge of the base which then becomes your floor!!

You could put shingle down for the wooden base to go on or a plastic base for the wooden floor beams. The plastic bases work really well but you need to level the ground.

Cos it's all about the base about the base no trouble

Straight on the concrete is fine
