Hi all

I have a shed coming, approx 4 x 3. I am looking for some ideas on a shed floor, prefer wood, purely because I dont want a slab down, plus at some stage in the future, maybe even move the shed. A full blown deck, with posts, bearers, joists, decking timber seems overkill to me, its not trafficked, it wont be seen, it wont have a tractor parked on it, just bikes, tools, household overflow, etc. But would still like it raised, though close to the ground, etc. The site is slightly sloping. My thinking was to have some posts, joists, perhaps some kind of panels on top as flooring? Are there panels even suitable?

Could someone advise of a simple design, plus materials etc. Your thoughts would be most appreciated.

Yellow tongue flooring (http://www.gunnersens.com.au/products/building-products/particleboard/particleboard-flooring.html) on 90x45 MGP10 joists @450mm centres and 120x45 bearers @1200 centres on stumps at 1200 centres or thereabouts.
