remember rule one of wood...not contact with earth or concrete. Ever. Earth and concrete will retain moisture and wood will wick it into itself promoting rot--even in treated lumber. Always place your wood structure on some form or metal or high strength plastic that is anchored into your ground or concrete. Also, always make sure that your support goes beneath the frost line (if that applies) to mitigate heaving in the winter. How you do it is negotiable, but if you need something to be permanent, keep the wood off of moisture holding materials, and anchored in some fashion to a level below the frost line.
@atubeviewer4942 you bring up a great point! A plastic vapor barrier over the crushed concrete before you put the skirting on is highly recommended. I will be doing that to my shed to house conversions!

Good advice!
Why not add a plastic vapor barrier just like a concrete foundation to stop moisture wicking
