Depends how long term it is - if there's a chance it won't be there long, you
could just scrape back and drop it in. What I have done with sectional wooden
sheds is to put down some concrete paving slabs (normally 2 foot squares) just
laid on sand, to give a decent base that is quick to do and easy to move or get
rid of as needs change. I know it might sink, but it's been good enough.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Tool shed foundation?
First off. I'll inform you that I had Comcast, my service provider, switch out
my old cable modem for a faster, wifi enabled unit. At the moment I *think*
Team Net is still working as usual, no service disruption. We shall see.
Okay, now that the man behind the curtain stuff is out of the way I am planning
getting a plastic garden shed. I'm looking at one big enough to hold the
lawnmover, weed whackers, rakes, etc. Basically all the garden stuff that is
taking up valuable space in the garage. I need the room to actually get some
work done on my cars.
It's only 7 feet wide and 4 feet deep. It comes with a plastic slab as the
floor. What do you think, can I just scrape a space in the dirt that is fairly
level and call it good? Or go all the way and have a small, say 8 x 5 concrete
slab professionally poured as a foundation? That will likely cost more than the
shed!
