HI All,

I am embarked upon a project to reclaim my garden from a wall of Leylandii type trees currently occupying the bottom third of the garden.
The garden is about 10m wide, and half of it I want to screen with nicer trees. The other half I want to build a garden room in.

I've looked at buying a garden room but they are very expensive. I've also found various DIY solutions online which I reckon I could do.
The question is, what would you do in terms of a base? I've seen various options including the standard put down a patio, the plastic matting stuff and finally ground screws.

What would you go for?

I would put it on concrete blocks every 4ft or so. Keeping it just off the ground with a dpm between the blocks and the treated timber.
Giving the base another coat of wood preservative or creosote wouldn't hurt.
