paving slabs?

or you can buy decking squares

I used rubber matting that sort of fits together like a jigsaw. I got it from Decathlon.

thanks for advice but I think the paving slabs would be to hard. Savoycabbage, I had a look on Decathlon web site but can see what you mean. what were the mats called?

we put paving slabs under ours but it does have a floor aswell so maybe paving slabs and somethign foam/rubber

I think you need to consider drainage, a rubber mat will stop damp coming up from underneath, but the rain will just sit on it and rot the floor.

You need about 5 or 6 slabs, only a pound a go at B&Q, and stand it on those so that they are just under the edges. that way rain won't collect at the base and it will be properly off the ground. HTH

Oh I see it has no floor. Hm.

What's it made of? If wooden you really need to get a floor! If plastic then foam should be fine.

I do move mine about a bit as it is on the lawn.

I have had a quick look on the website too. You could get it with holes in the size of a £1 coin or without.

if it's plastic, can you not just put it on the grass
