Flooring plan for 16x16 shed?

[robbyreneeward]

2x10s doubled on perimeter and 2x6s for joists? This sound right if I'm doing a concrete block foundation? I know how to frame the walls and roofin just didn't know about floor

Double 2x10 perimeter beam and 2x8 joists 16"oc at least. I would go all 2x10 if it was me but depending in what's stored inside.

2x8 joist are good but I would split it in the middle and use 8' boards. 16' is a pretty good span.

How would I do that? Also it will not have anything of significant weight in it at all, except for possibly one or two chest freezers

How would I do that?

basically 2 - 8' x 16' screwed together using 8" joist.

If you have a good lumber yard, call and get prices for TGI beams. They are the only cost efficient way to span 16' with lumber. If not, breaking the span into two as mentioned earlier will work. This girder will require footing support same as parameter. I can draw you a sketch if you need.

That'd be great thanks brother

Sorry, they are TJI's not TGI's. Pressure treated dimensional lumber would be a better choice for this and use of center girder to split span to 8'.

Here is a link to a DIY post. I built one similar to what you are wanting last spring, also doubled up on the perimeter with 2x10's. Just FYI, and good luck.

If doing 2x's use 10" all around. The cost differences is nil in the total cost. 16' is a long span on a floor and anything smaller then 10's will bounce. You could cut the span down if you use a girt as stated above. Use a single 2x10 with 2x10's framed into it with pressure blocking between to make the girt. Also use at least 3/4" t& g decking glued and screwed.

The 2 links I posted have plans for almost anything you want to build.

Any way you could sketch this for me? I'm trying to imagine this in my head and am having trouble. If I split the span I could use 2x8 for joists, correct?
