    Hi Folks,

    I am looking advice on shed flooring,

    Presently I am building my shed with 69 x 32 beams however I am wondering about the floor

    I have seen places that say 69 x 32 for floor beams are sufficient others say I should go at least for 2 x 6

    Can someone advise if 69 x 32 is sufficient If not would it cost much more to go for 2 x 6?

    What are your unsupported spans and what are your joist centres?

    I am going to run 4 lengths of 69x32 10 foot long and have 2 lengths of 7 foot.

    Leaving around 1.75 ft between joists

    What are your unsupported spans? What distance between your supports on the ground?
    At the moment it looks like you are building a shed on very flimsy joists that might just work if you are on a concrete raft foundation and add in noggings otherwise it's going to snap.
