Fifteen years ago I put a 6*8 shed on 4"*4" tanalised timber bearers
directly on the soil. A few months ago we moved the shed and the bearers
were as new. ( we did have guttering /water butt so the area under the
shed was bone dry). Time taken - minutes, expense - minimal.

That is what our shed is on. The shed had more rot than the treated
timbers laid on the ground. Nno guttering but still fine and dry
underneath. The only drawback is the rabbits who like burrowing under
there if we leave a bunny sized gap. And inch gap all round is plenty for
ventillation.
