Finally spread some 5-10mm gravel and make it level with the grass.
Level/pack it and lay the "bearers" down onto the gravel. Then pop
your shed onto the bearers.

I did this to the kids playhouse (a converted 8x6 shed)


This is fine for place that don't get even moderate wind. Otherwise
you may find that this happens:

Bear in mind that there is, er was, an eves level wall right against
one side of the shed and a 2'6" high one against the end. Not many
gardens get the full whack of an F7 or F8 though (sustained wind speed
over upper 30's low 40's mph).

Now trying to think of cheap and easy was of stopping it happening
again, 5 years ago we lost the roof. That landed on the wall the far
side of the road behind the shed in the above picture. But that was in
a real storm, F10 (50mph sustained, gusting to to upper 60's mph).
