Triangular Shed?

"I'm planning on trying to build a shed, with a triangular tip. So I can build it at the top of my garden. Also with a raised flooring so there's a storage space underneath the main floor, if possible. I'm not sure if i should use a cement base and brick shed or if i could do this idea with a wooden base. I'm obviously new with these thoughts. What I would like to know whether I need to put down a solid base and how to go about putting a triangular tip on a shed. I would appreciate any ideas you may have."

Jason, the first thing you need to know is what your town requires with regard to the foundation. Depending on the town and the size of the shed, they may or may not require you to make the investment in a real cement foundation. That having been said, if you want the shed to stand for many years, a real foundation may be your best bet ... this is especially true if you want to store things below the main floor. Don't discount the "critter factor" ... rodents of all types are just waiting for you to build a shed without a foundation, so they can burrow underneath it and call it home.

With regard to the triangular tip, I'm a bit puzzled. (It must be the colloquialism?) Do you want a three sided shed, or a triangular roof? In either case, it all starts with a professionally drawn shed plans.
