don't forget to anchor the shed down if you do it that way, some of those on our site went walkabout in high winds last year :(   
(some angle iron hammered into the soil at the corners works a treat :) )

Coudl you use bricks for a base? I have a load of old house bricks I want rid of and was thinking of making a shed base by laying those down .

Would I need to use beams on top of that for an airgap?

An airgap saves the base sitting in water  :)

Just make sure you have enough suporting timbers so that the floor doesn't sag in sections when you walk inside the shed  :lol:
