I am building a base for an arrow metal shed.
Size is 10x12
Thought I had this all figured out but now sid (self imposed doubt) popped around just after I got home from HD this evening.
My plan was 3 deck blocks down each 12th side of shed.
Then using 2x6x12 across top of row of three deck blocks.
Then simply screwing 2x6x10 across from side to side to act as joists for floor.
Typing that with cheap Osb tongue and groove for floor.
1) So do I need to use joist hangers to secure the 2x6x10 to the 2x6x12's end to face? . Option 1 in very rough sketch.
Or should I be getting a couple more 2x6x12's and resting my 2x6x10's on the existing 2x6x12's as supports for the joists? Opt 2cin very rough sketch
