I built a 6x8 chicken coop that way using the pier blocks.
We live out in a wooded are and are prone to have little furry rodents run around. Ecspecially when you have chickens and their feed around.
Rodents like to live in the space under sheds and the such, and if you are using pier blocks, that will leave a nice, dry 12" living space under the house/shed.
What I did to combat this and it has worked well so far is to lay two sections of 1" holes, 4' high poultry fencing down on the footprint of your shed. Leave enough around the edges to wrap up onto the floor of your shed, but be sure that the entire floor is covered. Tack down around the edge of your floor and then when you put your walls in, the bottom plate of your wall will cover the sharp edges of the fencing so that now one will get poked.
This pretty much encloses under shed so that no rodent can crawl under or burrough under your shed.
Just an idea that has worked for me.
