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.
Dalkeith
Dalkeith is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, on the River Esk. It was given a burgh of barony in 1401 and a burgh of regality in 1540. The settlement of Dalkeith developed south-westwards from its 12th-century castle, which is recognized today as Dalkeith Palace. With reference to the 2011 Census, Dalkeith has a permanent population of around 12342 people. The town is comprised of 4 unique places: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and historic core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the well-situated section of Dalkeith with numerous large Victorian and newer houses. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a primarily working class council estate. The structure on High Street of Dalkeith, now referred to as the Tolbooth, began to be utilized as a tolbooth for the administration of the town in the early 18th century. The plaque above the door checks out '1648' but this was taken from another structure and does not show when the Tolbooth was installed. Operating mainly as a place for law and order, it featured a jail in the west half, a court room on the east, and a dungeon called the 'black hole' below ground. In front of the building there is a circle of stones to highlight the site where the last public hanging in Dalkeith occurred in 1827. The town is also home to other well known structures, namely a Watch Tower at the cemetery, a water tower and a variety of iron mills going back to the early 19th century.
