I'm erecting a new garden shed this weekend and i'm not sure what would be best to use as a base. It's a steel shed, so will need to be fixed to the base as there is no floor. Should i go for wood, breeze block, or paving slabs?

Concrete base would be best.
You can anchor the shed with bolts into the concrete.

BEST is such a relative word. You've already suggested GOOD ideas. Wood should be treated lumber. "Pavers" will never rot, but could sink/ raise up/ shift. Though you could frame them.

Concrete would be best but paving slabs would do as long as they are level.

thick paving slabs would be a good base, thicker than 6 cms, if no,t use concrete, harder but more durable

concrete is best,but for ease use paving slabs laid as a patio.
