#1, That shed should be at least 6" above grade to prevent the damage in the first place.
Sealing pressure treated wood
Hi DIYers!
I am in the process of building a shed where rain water drains out to the street. At worse case there maybe a few inches of water as it drains. At heavy rain the water would likely touch the pressure wood treated foundation I would build.
Do you recommendation some type of sealant to help protect from rot?
THX!

It doesn't hurt PT wood to get wet occasionally as long as it can dry back out in a reasonable period of time. As the others said - raise the shed.
Thx Guys! Moving it is not a option, I will have to put a concrete base under the wood base.
