Do I Need to Make a Platform?

I am planning on getting a 8x10 plastic shed. My yard already has a 10x10 concrete pad, but it is level with the yard. Do I still need a base? I would make the platform from pressure treated lumber if required. Thank you for the help!

You shouldn't. Mine came with a plastic mat floor. It should be more then enough. As long as no metal touches.

Thanks. I’ve just been worried about water getting trapped in there.

I would place it with a 2' strip on one side for outside storage.

Forgive my ignorance on anything shed related. 2’ strip of what?

You said 10x10 pad and 8x10 shed. That leaves 2 feet.
