As for me I built a 30"x 30" pole building from hemlock I cut off my property. At the time it was all could afford to do & this building seved it"s purpose fine. But the floor is dirt, I put gravel in by hand, just bank gravel. & for years it did well, but it was dirt.... I own"d a grove of white oaks & some of the trees interfeared with the farming so I cut them & into 16" 4x4"s & 2" stock. Had to cut a few extra to have enough lumber. Leveled the floor, I had enough height I thought & used brick to help support the low spots, Lotts of 1/2" all thread & it doesn"t look much differnt now than it did 20 years ago. Holds up a 730 diesel, a 60. 620, 630, 530. 1941 B & a M john deere 4 lawn mowers & a gravity box load of corn in there now. Once in awhile I hafta use a sledge to drive down a nail head, or now bend it over. It was cheaper than cement then & it"a warmer to lay on than cement now. But I owned the timber. White oak is AWESOME lumber to last.
