Pro tip: My dad said to use 3/4 inch plywood for the shed floor, not 1/2 inch.

He told me last spring when I was building my 8x10 shed. I thought the thinner stuff would save me maybe forty bucks. Put it all down and within a month, it started to sag between the joists. Had to tear it out and do it over with the thicker sheets. Anyone else have a story about skimping on materials and regretting it?

Disagree, my 8x12 floor is 1/2 inch and fine after two years. Maybe @jamieh76's buddy just got unlucky with that storm.

My buddy cheaped out on roof sheathing. Big storm, big regret.
