It's "foundation" is galvanized steel.

Tuff Shed actually has exactly what I want but I'm being cheap. Using a mix of what I already have and buying new, my materials list is still less than $1200 for everything which is a quarter of what Tuff Shed wants. Besides, building it myself will give me something to do for a month or two.

If you are going to build a wooden joist floor you wouldn't need concrete, just sink piers and build the floor on them. You just don't want the floor in contact with the ground because it can frost heave.

I just thought building it directly on concrete would be a whole lot easier than digging piers. It'd also help with critters under the thing. My neighbor has groundhogs living under their porch which will be about 10 feet away from my shed so anything to stop them from digging under it would be nice.
