I searched and didn't see anything. But was wondering if it is worth putting something down on the wooden floor of my shed? It is just regular 3/4" plywood. Would it be beneficial to put epoxy it or just leave it? I'll be storing my riding zero-turn in there and it will get wet at times I'm sure. I just want to start off with the best protection if I can or if it is even worth it.

Not sure if it was a good idea but I went with pressure treated on the outside trim. I'm also worried that the barn doors will warp when the PT dries out. Any way to prevent this? Could it be painted now with an oil-based primer and then topcoat. I know you are supposed to let it dry but if I do I'm worried it will warp or am I overthinking this? Thanks.

Sealing it might help, with like a deck sealer. Would probably prevent water from soaking into it and allow it time to dry.

It's probably not super necessary but I also don't think it would hurt if you used something that soaked in a little bit and provided protection without being like a topical paint. Paint will just chip off and get everywhere.

Deck and floor enamel. The first few applications will soak right in. I painted the OSB floor in my machine shop with it in 1992. It has not chipped or worn off at all in 28 years of very hard use... Water just rolls off.

I used a latex floor enamel on my new shed plywood floor. Three years of tractors and garden tools etc and it looks like new.
