Fix metal shed kit

[eqa]

So I ordered a Outsunny metal shed kit which was delivered with the base frame of a wrong size compared to the rest of the - see picture showing "missing" metal panel when all panels are fitted on the base frame. While I have a refund, they've let me have the materials so I am wondering how best to use it. Can I:

-Get someone (not sure I have the skill) to cut the base frame (pictured, made of bent sheet metal) to reduce the width of the wall and make the rest as is?

-Make a base frame of wood (I have some lying around) and screw the panels on there. Would the screws have to be longer to screw into wood rather than into the metal base frame? Another question is whether the panels must touch the ground (or the base underneath)-is it entirely screws that take the weight of the shed or does the ground too, through sheet contact?

-Make a wood frame for a new shed and use the panels as cladding for it. Such DIY would obviously fit my precise needs better than this off the shelf product. But this would require me to use the wall panels "horizontally" (ie with the longer length horizontal) rather than vertically (ie, with the longer length vertical) which the product seems to have been designed for. Any issues that may arise?

Thanks!

Chop saw with correct blade would cut.
Tin snips would also cut metal.
Make a wooden mitre box and hacksaw would cut.
Angle grinder with metal blade over some wood would also cut.
Easy to cut that thin metal

Self tapping screws or get rivet gun to fix together.

As for who. Find local handyman if you need help. Loads on Facebook or...nextdoor... website

Surely you must have a gap each side?

And the roof is too small? Can't picture why it wouldn't be, but if it isn't why not fill in the gap?

Are you sure you didn't just assemble it wrong? I know they make a few different sizes, but do their sizes really go up in such small jumps as that gap?

Assuming you did, I have one of these sheds and you could easily get through the metal base with a hacksaw.
