Is this a brick-built summer house or one of those gloriied timber sheds that some people like to call a 'summer house'?
For the latter, I'd use concrete flags, laid on my usual 10:1 bedding mix, and only use a sub-base if there were problems with levels or iffy ground.
To work out bedding materials, see the calculator I provide on the
Laying Flags page.
