    @dalton999.  Bumping up your thread for you, Not sure if it's a question that can be answered on this forum but you never know. There maybe someone who had the same circumstances.

    Get yourself a tractor Jack and some broken slabs and breeze blocks. Jack it up to get it level all the way round outer floor framework then treated timber whatever size is needed to run the opposite way under your floor runners.

    I have had/have a few sheds on slabs on sand, but you do need to build a strong framework to contain the sand and guard against slumping e.g. railway sleepers bolted together, short retaining wall of bricks or blocks around the perimeter of the sand pit...
