Yes, your shed does need a base. This is to give it a solid, level foundation. Open soil will not help with the longevity of the shed itself or the contents within. The best materials to use to make your shed base are concrete, natural stone or wood.
Fortrose
Fortrose is a town and former royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, UK. It is on the Moray Firth, concerning 6 miles (10 km) north-east of Inverness. The town is understood for its ruined 13th century cathedral, and also as the house of the Brahan Seer. Between Ages it was the seat of the bishopric of Ross, and also previously called Chanonry, for being the Chanory of Ross. The cathedral was mostly demolished in the mid-seventeenth century by Oliver Cromwell to supply building materials for a citadel at Inverness. The vaulted south aisle, with bell-tower, as well as a separated chapter house (made use of as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) continue to be. These fragments, though small in scale, display substantial architectural improvement, as well as are in the care of Historic Scotland (no entry fee). The burgh is a popular place for attempting to identify bottlenose dolphins (see Chanonry Point) in the Moray Firth. Fortrose shares a fairway with Rosemarkie. Set on the Chanonry Ness the training course stretches out right into the Moray Firth and uses great sights of Ft George. The course is popular for its signature fourth Hole "Lighthouse". The lighthouse in question is the Chanonry Factor lighthouse which was designed by Alan Stevenson and also was first lit 15 May 1846. Public structures in Fortrose consist of a recreation centre, library and also the only high school on the Black Isle, Fortrose Academy. The right pronunciation of the community's name in accordance with local use is with the tension on the very first syllable.
