Sapphire Anthracite 8 x 6 ft Metal Garden Shed

I have built a wooden frame as a base for this shed on which I'll lay the floor, is that appropriate for this shed?

Dear James Thank you for your question. Yes, there is a lip at the base of the shed where it touches the floor, with pre-drilled holes to anchor the shed down to a hard standing surface or to your wooden frame. For your wooden frame, heavy-duty wood screws or bolts would be suitable (not included), or for hardstanding surfaces such as concrete, the optional 'Anchor Hilti Screws' accessory can be found further down on the product page.

Should it sit on a wooden platform if place on paving?

Dear Anthony Thank you for your question. A shed placed on paving would not necessarily need the additional metal floor foundation kit. There is a lip on the bottom of the shed frame which allows it to be bolted securely to your patio, with the addition of the optional Anchor Hilti Screws & Drill Bit accessory on the product page. The optional metal foundation frame would raise the internal floor height inside the shed, helping to ensure that none of your items stored inside would come into contact with rainwater which seeps underneath. The metal foundation frame can be filled with concrete, or alternatively a wooden board or boards can be placed on top to create a boarded floor. The thickness required would really depend on how heavy the items are that you plan on storing inside, but generally, plywood would be 3/4 inch thick and OSB would be 5/8 inch thick.
