I have the base that comes with it and I have laid some breeze blocks on to the soil to support the base, and then I'm going to build the greenhouse on top of the base. Dunno how much sense that makes. I will also be using weed suppressent fabric and gravel/paving stones as well (between the breeze blocks and steel base).

Yeah mate, that makes sense. I thought along the lines of the pressure treated timber as some of the posts in Homebase and B&Q are guaranteed against rot for 15 years.
Are the breeze blocks on your GH just loose on the soil or have you cemented them in? I presume you just anchored the base to the breeze blocks with screws and Rawl plugs?
Do you grow everything out of pots/growbags if your floor is gravelled and paved?
