LIke Phillip, I came late to this party.  Back in 2008 I replaced my 
rusted metal
erector set shed with a nice 10x12 vinyl shed, in the same place as 
the old shed.

The old shed was put up on a handfull of cinder block piers and then 
had the metal
floor/foundation frame, and covered with plywood.  Eventually, the 
plywood failed
and I fell through the 6".  That's when I decided I'm put up the new 
shed instead
of trying to fix the curret one.

But there was a problem, that part of my back year has a tendency to end up
underwater when we get our spring & summer rains.  To take care take care of
this, I built a perimeter of garden timbers, 2 high, which I staked 
in place by drilling
some holes through the garden timbers and driving some rebar through and into
the ground.

Fortunately, my best friend worked in construction driving a dump 
truck brought over a load of crush & run, which you can get from Home 
Depot, Lowes, etc. to
fill the frameto a depth of about 3".  Then covered the crush & run 
with dirt, and
used a tamper, again compliments of my buddy, which can be rented from Home
Depot, etc.  We covers dirt foundation with a very thick plastic 
vapor barrier and
then used solid cinderblock for the flooring.  Once the foundation was complete
we started erecting the shed.

Here's a short article I did about the project:

and if you want email me and I can send you the pictures of working 
on the foundation and putting up the shed.
