is it ok to build your floor right on top of the skids? in other words not build a box on the top of the 4X4?

Hi John,

The only time I have ever seen this done was using 2"x8" pressure treated tongue and groove boards.

You would have to make sure that you check the allowable span. I believe, depending on the loads you plan on having in your shed, you would only be able to space your skids a max of 16" to 24" on center.

I did up a quick rendering for you to look at. I am not saying this is an approved method for doing your shed floor. What I would suggest is getting with your local building inspectors office and getting their opinion on doing your shed floor framing using that type of decking over your skids.

Hope this helps to answer your question.
