Allan -- my 2 cents...... Build any type construction shed that you wish -- floor can be built / constructed in many ways.
1) If the shed will house the tractor -- no need for wood there -- obviously, the wood would be demolished in short order. Best to have concrete or gravel if there is an issue with storing the tractor on a dry surface... 2) Could have tractor stored in part of structure as above -- with a second bay for other hand tools and perishables. 3) Perishable floor could be done temporarily with 57 stone gravel over black tarp plastic (6 mil.) which will keep that area relative dry if drainage is sufficient around sides of structure to allow for water to flow away from the structure. That will keep a relatively dry space for tools. Could also throw down some plywood on top of the gravel for a "comprehensive cover" over the gravel. The plywood may warp in time with this concept which may not be appealing.... 4) The perishable floor area could also be constructed with the above gravel concept with 2x4 pressure treated material laid on side 16 inches on center and 5/8 to 3/4 plywood laid on top and screwed to the 2x4's. Note that the 2x4's would need to be laid on a flat graded gravel base. Note: this floor too could warp. 5) If you want a real floor (outside of concrete), do the above gravel thing and use 2x6 pressure treated material constructed with a continuous outer band and joists attached to run like a standard floor system 16 inches on center -- and screw the plywood to the joists. This is a floating floor independent of the structure. 6) Note that any of the floor options will support critterisms....... 7) And, definitely consider the following :-) Gil Robertson wrote: > Hi!
