Help with shed build

Hello Shedditors,

I am building a cabana in my backyard. The first photo is a close render to what I am going for. The second photo is the spot where it will be built - the large rectangle is the total covered area, and the small rectangle is the enclosed area. The large area is 18 X 10 ft and and small area is 11 X 7'6". The base is an existing stamped concrete patio - not perfectly level (slopes slightly away from the house) and the pattern is generally uneven.

My problem is this - I am installing cabinets in the enclosed space with a granite counter (purchased secondhand). Obviously, I need to level the cabinets and get them off the concrete. However, I do not want to build a full floor with 2X6 joists as this will add to the overall height and could make the difference between the bar height outside and inside off.

If it makes a difference I am in Southern Ontario, Canada.

Any thoughts of ideas would be appreciated.

Shed floor on Concrete patio

Hello fellow shedditors.

I am in the planning stages for a cabana bar in my backyard. Currently have a stamped concrete patio that is slightly sloped. I am putting in some pre built cabinets with a counter. The opening I want to be at bar height.

My question is this because of the slope and the cabinets, I probably will need a floor to at least level the shed - but i worry I would have to use 2x6 plus leave a gap for drainage but that could put the floor up to high to make the bar either too high on the outside or too low from the inside.

Thoughts on how to minimise the elevation change but still create a solid base?
