if you live in a high wind area maybe you can get some hardwood sleepers secure them to the ground then secure your shedon them or if on the ground so snakes dont move in dig a trench around shed.put a aljy pipe in with a slight full so that the water can flow into a garden still wouldn’t hert to drive 4 big spikes into the ground?

It shouldn’t hurt it since it is plastic, but I would recomend sitting it on a foundation of cinder blocks or bricks.

yes it can be put directly on the ground they are made for this purpose. plastic will not rot or stain like wood.

plastic may well b water proof but it can rot . good idea to support it on boards you can secure it to . wind can pick up sheds and turn them into a projectile .

Depends on the insulation at its base. If it is not watertight at the base, raise it off the ground usind wood or brick with good drainage between the spacing.
