For my Barn project I'm going to be using 2x6's 12" on center with doubled up boards around the rim. I'll be putting down 3/4" PT as the initial floor (wood floor to follow as budget allows.
This is what the plans call for; actually they specify 16" on center, but since I'll have tools rolling around in there, figure a few more joists won't hurt. I'm planning on putting in blocking between the joists as well. How much and how far apart is the question. I'm figuring on 4' apart running the length of the building. Is that going to be sufficient or should I plan on more?
Thanks guys, working on the budget here, and need to figure in the extra boards.
