As above, gonna' build an about 10 X 20 shed, garage doors each end.
Gonna' site near existing other homeowners for security now, and move nearer to my home nearby (500 ft) later.
Since I know vehicles' wheelbases, I could plan and arrange decked 2x4s on up.
Or, I could leave gravel exposed, or even rest 2x6's loosely on gravel.
I do not want to do concrete floor, as 99% sure it will move.
(I can brace, cross brace 'sills' and slowly edge to 2nd position, even if no real built floor.)
Any wisdom to share?

If you are going to move the structure, leave packed dirt or gravel until you move it.

Have you considered stall mats?

If you plan to move it you may want to consider pressure treated 4 X 6 skids running the length of the building as kind of a "foundation".

Yeah, that's about where my best thinking went.
So 14x24 graveled area for draining, 4x6 'sills', anchored, (and for pulling) under walls, probably 2x6 treated on gravel for 'floor', and garage doors both ends.
Any better use of my time or money?

Curious why you can just build it where you need it in the long run.

Foundation prep X2 plus the time & risk to move it? I think you'd be ahead if security is a concern to spend a few hundred bucks to put a solar system on the roof for power if there is no commercial power yet and install an alarm loud enough to wake your neighbors and build it where it's going to stay.
