Garden shed to store motorcycle?

Garden shed to store motorcycle?

Hi all.

Short version of a long story. To extend the rear of our house I have to lose my rickety block shed that came with the house.

The cost of building a block shed is out of the question, metal shed is a possibility but I really would prefer a wooden shed. Easier to live with, hang a tool wall and shelves, insulate etc.

Shed is gonna be 12ft x 10ft. Double doors, 2 windows. Not a log cabin just a decent shed.

It’s gonna store my Transalp, bicycles, surfboard, all the camping gear, all my tools and will also be getting a workbench put in.

Concrete or wooden floor?

I’d love a concrete floor. I could paint it like my old one which made finding screws, nails, bolts that fall nice and handy.
2 shed companies told me I couldn’t plonk a shed on a concrete slab….it would still need to be sat on paving slabs.

Does anyone have a wooden shed with a concrete floor?

Second question is two fold……

Would a wooden floor be strong enough for TA plus workbench etc??

Going in and out with a dripping wet bike, is that gonna eventually rot the floor?

Thanks for reading
