I'm building a lean-to firewood shed in my back yard early this year for storing next winter's firewood. My plan is to use construction lumber for the frame, galvanized sheet for the roofing and reclaimed pallet wood* for the wall slats.
My question is: do I need to install a floor? The substrate in my garden is rocky soil and my plan was just to clear and level the footprint of the shed, and bury the upright posts in concrete, but just to leave the floor as bare earth. A lot of plans I've seen install a box frame with 2x6 flooring but I want to avoid that to A) spare expense* and B) keep the overall height down (neighbors)
(I'll probably lay 2x4 runners down under the wood pile to aid air circulation if I go bare-earth)
Thanks
*I'm not quite broke, but I'm definitely broke-adjacent

Maybe put the runners up on cinderblocks. I keep firewood on racks made of cinderblocks and Garden Timbers/4x4 year round on top of soil with no issues
