How much weight will the Walton’s tongue and grooved and solid sheet floors take?
A. Like many things when constructing a garden building there are many variables. The weight that a floor can take is dependant on two main things: 1. The Base Structure: we recommend that all buildings are erected on as solid and flat foundation as possible. As well as doing this, if you are planning on using it for heavy traffic or point loading such as stilettos and large machinery, then it is usual for the floor to need reinforcement in the form of a sheet material like Ply or OSB. 2. The Material: the difference in the two materials is also important. Solid sheet material is manufactured specifically without any of the flaws or inconsistencies that you may find in natural material like tongue and groove flooring. We firmly believe that as long as any heavy weight is distributed evenly across the floor the solid sheet with have the ability to carry greater weights.
