2x6 flooring

[red maples]

a 2x3 will be fine on 2x6 floor frame. I would use the 2x6 for the floors if you have it it will be that much stronger!!!

if your thinking of going any bigger you might wanna put supports under where the evap will go. I have a 2x6 evap and used 2x10 16"centers for floor frame and doubled up on the 2x10's under the evap. just in case.

What Red Maples said. And make sure you build your door large enough. I like that design you are looking at, my father has always wanted to build something like that on our property.

Not much done today. Had to sort through my wood, got some walls cut ready to frame. Having conflicting ideas about ceiling joists/ rafter ties. Made the decision to go with 2x8 rafters with 2x6 joists. The joists will sit on the wall plate on the 10' side and nailed to the rafters at the 8' back wall 2' above the wall plate.

Platform looks strong and sturdy, nice work. I think your idea for the rafter/joists sounds sufficient. Making some space overhead for extra storage?

Don't know if I'm gonna get the roof sheathed before the first snow tomorrow.

If you get an early start tomorrow you just might, If not throw a tarp over it. The snow isn't supposed to start till late morning. Lookin good though, and you have some help, nice!

Snow storm attacked and I lost power in the afternoon, so the roof remains unsheathed
