Wooden tool shed floor

    Just ordered a new wooden shed, it comes treated on the outside & installed up on blocks, but I was wondering what to do with the floor inside. I'll be storing tools & doing a little wood work in it, so I want something easy to sweep clean & not soak up any spilt oil or petrol from law mowers etc.
    would it be ok to epoxy the floor? Maybe with a little sand through it for grip?
    Any advice appreciated.

    Yep, lino is perfect, easy clean and prevents moisture coming up through the floor. I used lino remnants on mine. Most shops sell roll ends off cheaply, depending on the size of the shed you may need to join two or more pieces. To get a decent join, overlap the two pieces, and cut through both with a sharp knife along a straight edge. Then just glue it down, easy job.

    I know lino must be glued to a dry floor. Suppliers suggest leaving a concrete floor for about three months to completely dry out.
