can you mount this shed on top of a sheet of plywood and just use that as your floor?

Yes you could but depending in where you live moisture and termites could be a problem. If the problem is moisture you could mount the plywood on a frame of pressure treated 2 x 4s or 2 x 6s. We use ours in the desert where moisture is not a problem but termites are so we mounted ours on cement board. Hope this helps.

It is necessary to install a plywood/OSB base as the floor of the shed in the fabrication of the unit. However, you need to have a base to have the shed sit on and, if that is made out of wood, it could deteroriate rapidly and need to be replaced often. I poured a small area concrete and my shed frame sits on the concrete. Inside the shed, the flooring is plywood over a metal floor frame.

As long as the ground underneath is reasonably level sure. I had to use patio block to level it out.

I'm not sure, pretty much all of the weight goes onto that part so I'm not sure a thin piece of plywood would be safe. something a little thicker that is fastened/nailed/screwed solidly to the frame might work though

absolutely. you do need to put either plywood or chipboad on top of your frame. Mine is on the metal adjustable frame.

I have it on plywood since it is a bunk bed and it works great so I would say no.

I wouldn't. It isn't that type of bed. It is a piece of fairly thin plywood that holds the bed up, but isn't super sturdy. It would probably not break, but wouldn't be very comfortable. It does work well with a nice mattress on top though! Does the job

Only if you can fix the shed on a pole or a wall, otherwise it may be blown away. For safety reasons, you better have a foundation.

I would not do that. If you already have a bed frame with slates, you can go to a local Lowes or Home Depot and buy a piece of plywood to put on the slates and then put your mattress on top of that.

I have it on a wood floor, but I honestly do not see why not. It was a good buy for us.

Sure can. It is heavy though and comes in multiple pieces... Make sure you have high ceilings as well.

Yes, it would fit if the floor under the shed wasn't too high. Mine is on about a four inch high platform.

I would think you could. Probably not as good as on a solid floor. Make sure you get it tightened down well. If you are putting this inside your home, I would be concerned about your ceiling. I think it would damage the ceiling.Gary B.

I guess you could since it comes in pieces and you put it all together. You just wouldn't set the bed on top.

This coming from an engineer. "Don't even think about mounting it on drywall." Mount it to a stud. If the studs are not where you like then mount a plywood plate between two studs and hang your Habitat on the plate.

I do not see why not. I cut up an entire shed (approx. 8x12) with aluminum skin, steel framing, and wood floor with 4x6 inch support beams. I did not have any problems with any of it. Just take your time and do not force the blade through whatever you are cutting. Use just enough pressure to let the blade cut efficiently.

You can use in shed , mine is in a unseated garage, so far no problem. Mark

Yes you can use a platform instead of a box spring but youmwill have to make the platform solid like with plywood

I really do not think that Is a good idea; however, I am not a mechanical engineer. I thought the base was a little flexible, so I added a floor of 3/4" plywood.
