    Default Flooring suggestions

    I am building a small hut and am stuck with the material for the floor.
    The area is prone to termites, they are eating the old hut, I have the
    concrete columns set with beams and joists in place, but what to
    finish the floor itself with?
    It measures 3X4 metres and although it will be shelterd, and covered by a roof, I am a slow worker, it could be subject to some moisture. I have priced compressed cement but
    think that is far too expensive, any cheaper suggestions? (MDF board etc). It must be termite and to some extent damp proof
    thanks
    Bob

    Cypress pine is termite resistant.

    I think Gunnersons also supply a "termite resistant" sheet flooring. Same as yellow tongue structaflor but called termiflor. It may have be a different colour tongue.

    Sorry, but MDF won't do at all as it is not moisture resistant.
