Concrete base or paving slabs

[dermot66]

Hi
Hopefully someone can give me some advice regarding the 10 x 12 shed that I am about to buy for the bottom of my garden. Could someone let me know if I should have a concrete base for it to sit on or have paving slabs put down. The benefit of having the paving slabs is that I could pave beyond the shed and so have a nice area at the bottom around it whereas if I have a concrete base built the same size as the shed I will still need to at some time pave the area around it. I have been quoted £500.00 for a 10 x 12 concrete base. Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks

Yes, it is.

As for slabs v concrete it's your choice. Both will do the job.

why cant you just extend the concrete as you would flags? any will do.

Thanks Sean, but wouldn't that look really ugly.
Part of the reason I like flags is that it would be more pleasing on the eye.

Thanks
