One of my clients has a plastic garage/shed (11x22) he wants me to put a sub-floor into, then lay down vinyl tiles. (He uses it as a woodworking shop, so easy sweep-up is important.)

Since the floor is already plastic (24x24 tiles with ribs underneath), I am thinking that should act just fine as a vapor barrier, and I can just glue down some 3/4" pressure-treated plywood then 1/4 sub-flooring over that, then lay the tiles.

That should give him a nice solid floor point-loads wont dent into, and the nice easy clean-up he is after.

Anybody see anything wrong with the idea ?

Here is the building, the flooring is already strong enough to park a car on, but a point-load (wheels on a tool cabinet, legs on a table saw ect WILL eventually sink in and create a dent). Dad had a Keter 8x10 of the same type so I already know the limitations of the building type with respect to condensation ect.




Hey man, about flooring you can try epoxy flooring, it's the best and can last for long time take note of this guys that helped me in previous projects [Edited by Cliff Pennock: Link removed]

That link is dead. I've searched for every type of storage shed but am not finding it. Do you have a part number?

Hmmmn. With the proposed floor and some insulation this could be a 'tiny home' of sorts for emergencies ...
