I recommend not placing on ground or gravel. Concrete blocks is a better choice. My blocks have sunk 4 inches, and runners now in contact, you don't want that.

If you live in a termite region treat the area just before delivery, you'll never have better access. Termites can bridge over pressure treaded runners and get access to untreated areas.

You recommend concrete blocks even those yours have sunk to a point where it's now sitting on the ground anyways?

Sounds like op who doesn't want lumber because it's too expensive so is thinking about concrete because it's only a little more expensive

Yes, imagine where it would be now 25 years later. I should have gone higher

I'm mostly busting your balls. Concrete piers can certainly work. I think the real answer to improve your condition is to better prep the area with more compaction and different materials under the concrete plus maybe more piers to more evenly support the weight. Going taller just delays the inevitable.

Farm jack it up and put another paver or two on top. Repeat as necessary .
