I've an old shed in my garden which is looking a bit wonky.

It was like that when we moved in so not recent.

It was never installed correctly just being on the ground - and since it's been there the tree next to it has grown and lifted up one side.

Is it possible to lift one side of a shed up (perhaps with all the stuff in it) and then place bricks under the struts to make it level?

i'm loathed to take everything out, take the shed apart build a base and put everything back together.. as i don't think the shed would survive - and i've not really got the funds to buy a new one. Also i'm looking to move next year so wouldn't get the use from it.

any thoughts or shall i just leave it (after all it's not gone anywhere yet!)

I've an idea,Done a similar thing in the past...
Make yourself some wedges or Furring strips? - (Just google Furring strips)Push a spade underneath the rails under the floor boards, and jack the shed up slightly, to allow room to push in the wedges/Furring strips. Once in, release the spade, and then whack a few no8 x 2" woodscrews (from inside the shed) through the floor into the wedges. Jobs a gud un!!

I jacked mine up hens and all last year !, just used a trolley jack and some planks .... gently does it

Depends on how much weight you've got in it too. And which way your joists are running. If you could take out any of the heavier bits it'd all help. Or move most of it to the high side while you jack it up.

Good luck with it. Both methods sound good, but I should think important to try and equalise the lift with boards or battens, as richy says.

Just remember the rules of leverage, The further away you are the easier it is to lift as like a see saw but also remember that your fulcrum / pivot need to be able to take the weight.

And as a safety note do not do this without anyone else around to help. If things go wrong you could get pinned under it.
