5/8 Or 3/4 Plywood For Shed Floor
Howdy, locally osb an plywood are about the same $. so i would use plywood since it can stand water better then osb. how much weight are you going to load the floor with if bunches consider floor joist 12" on center then 1/2 osb or plywood would work out.. Use sturdy, 3/4-inch-thick exterior plywood for the floor. siding exterior siding plywood comes in 3/8- and 5/8-inch-thick sheets with a variety of surface patterns.. 2. use 1/2-inch pressure-treated plywood in a light-duty shed. for basic storage of hand tools such as rakes, shovels, trimmers and others, 1/2-inch pressure-treated plywood as a shed floor will.
That leaves you with 2 choices, the untreated 3/4" plywood or pressure treated 1/2" plywood. if it were my shed, and i'd be using it frequently, doubling up the 1/2" treated plywood would be the best option. but it doesn't end with simply that recommendation.. Attach the 3/4? plywood sheets to the frame. align the edges flush and leave no gaps between them for a professional result. drill pilot holes through the sheets and insert 1 5/8? screws, every 8? along the skids.. If i go 5/8" instead of 3/4" i don't have to go right to the wall with the current floor removal making it much quicker to remove. i could then add 1/2 plywood on top then heat, ditra and tile. if i go 3/4", i have to cut right to he wall making it a much longer demo..
