Portable Shed

Id be concerned with the weight on the casters if you actually intend to roll it around.

What's wrong with timber?

You could tile it i think.like the floor in some enclosed trailers.it would give you the same benefit without all the weight.

Bad idea. Concrete wil crack. Use Wood. Also you need a dampstop to prevent moist from the underside.

I wanted concrete for the durability.

Youd make it less durable by adding extra weight on the floor joists.Just use wood dude.works for billions of tool sheds.

Second this. You're talking over 1100 lbs. for a 4" 6x8 floor. Be ready for some engineering if you actually intend it to move without towing it. Wheels will have to be retractable, etc. PT 2x material with a painted steel chassis would work better.

Wow, sorry! Off by a factor of 2, over 2200 lbs for 4" 6x8 floor. Long day...

Yeah a "thin" concrete floor will end up with more cracks than a Brooklyn street corner, anything reasonable will weigh literally a ton. If you intend to just have this as storage in your backyard and not try to haul it all over the country then just build it on a level gravel pad and some 4x4 PT skids, as your pic shows. Same thing i did for my 10'X12' shed and its still considered "non-permanent" for tax reasons. Anything without a concrete foundation or piers works, i think even these dumbass deck blocks would work as non-permanent structure, but i wouldn't be positive (pic related)

And just to add, those prebuilt shed kits they have set up in big box store parking lots are a fucking rip off if you have the ability to frame a simple floor, wall and gable roof without it collapsing. I built a comparable shed with material from the same store and it cost around $400 dollars less, and had 2x6 floor joists and rafters vs. 2x4 everything, and plywood subfloor, and roof decking vs OSB. Slap some T-111 siding and paint that shit barn red with white trim or sheath it and vinyl siding.

Where do you live that you pay taxes on a shed?

>>952324
Not OP but in Pa most townships will add any permanent structure larger than 8x10 to the improvement section of your tax assessment.

check your LOCAL codes

Somewhat related:

Those sheds sitting there can be helpful for people who can't entirely grok the way structures are put together. They are minimally watched and you can freely poke around, measure things, take pictures of the way the roof is built, etc.

Yeah, I'd agree with that being their only use, just make sure to tell the sales guy to fuck off when he tries to sell you one. Take the design, trim, roof style, size, anything you want, then you can copy it and build it beefier for cheaper with a simple book on framing and a couple hours worth of Youtube videos.

You can epoxy over plywood.. Hell throw some fiberglass fibers in and give yourself a super strong epoxy finish.

> You can epoxy over plywood..

Fun fact: many parts of fiberglass boats are exactly that. Fiber glass over plywood. Stringers, transom, deck, etc.

will it even fit in your garage op?

I use to repair and maintain boats... Lol I know. Ive seen some shit.. Hence my mentioning of the way.

Holy shit someone pays "9,000" to redeck their boats topside with 'marine grade paint' when all it is. Is two part epoxy some size sorted beach sand. And pigment. Makes me cringe.. Same shit they would use indoors for your homes and stuff. The boat world is such a shit place only for elites with too much money. Fucking 2 grand for a 30 year old 50hp motor. Because 'boats' lmao

It doesn't work like you think it works. Use timber.

>if you want it to be portable and sturdy and don't need to move it regularly I suggest an empty cargo container
Buy an empty 20 ft. container and use it as the "base". Old containers cost several hundred bucks and the new ones few thousand. You can DIY your own shelves and workbenches there and build better floors/walls and sloped roof. As long as you don't fuck with the base you can lift it up with a truck with a side lift meant for cargo containers.

>if you want something which has its own wheels and meant to be towed by a vehicle
Well, regulations and laws step in. You can make one yourself but without spending top dollar to get it inspected and approved by officials you may get fined and/or jailed if you actually tow it with a vehicle on public streets and highways.

I spent a couple years on the water as well.

Everything is x3 price because "MUREEN GRADE".

I myself had no issue with cost as I repaired everything myself until it came to spare parts for the steering and engines. Then came the yamaha tax.

Them Enduro engines are nice tho.

I made a custom laminate of oak on fiberglass on plywood on more fiber glass on steel.

I was not ammused

How fast is she?

>>950755
It would break should it ever buckle, concrete only has compressive strength.

What about using Ferrocement it holds up well for boats.

If it never leaves the property, none of that is an issue. And insurance? Road inspection? What shitty state do you live in?
