I want to install a Rubbermaid Vinyl shed
6' X 4'
Should i put it on the ground or put it on a foundation ?
I want to use Pavers that are about 1 1/2" thick.
Should i put the pavers above the ground or dig them in at 1 1/2"
so they are level with the ground ?
Any other suggestions appreciated.

Any way you want. The only thing I would worry about with that small
and light a shed is that it would blow over in a heavy wind. Anchor it
to the ground.

Good point, those things are not even legal in Florida. I see them
occasionally at some national chain stores but the code people can
make you remove it.

Code folks here (FL) won't do anything about them.

My neighbor had to remove one. That is why I know.
