What do I do to keep the bottom of my three sheds from rotting?

They sit in snow a few months a year and the wood is starting to rot.

Hi Janine, I'm sorry to say the only real way to stop wood from rotting in that situation is to replace it with something that won't rot. Maybe some of the vinyl sidings they make today could be a close enough match to your wood that replacing just the bottom board would still look nice?
Thank you
You need to replace with pressure treated wood for ground contact.
Along with pressure treated wood you can also lay sidewalk blocks around the perimeter of the shed so the shed isn't resting directly on the ground. I didn't put them all the way around the perimeter but spaced them accordingly so the shed isn't resting on the ground.
