Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors. You don't want your shed floor to feel spongy.

Roof Snow Load: 40 pounds per square foot. This is more than adequate for most areas. If you live in an area with a high snow load you should check with your local building department for your local snow load. Contact us and we can specify stronger roof framing.
