Loafing Shed

[Skooterj]

So, I'm thinking about building a Loafing shed to store my yard equipment in. Ideally with a skid foundation. Something like the picture. I'll probably frame it so I can add a couple of roll up doors eventually, but it may be exposed to the elements for a few years. Would you use Treated Lumber everywhere? Just the posts, skids and gradeboards? Everything below the roof? I can see a bunch of snow blowing into it up against the wood and don't want it to start rotting before I can get it enclosed.

I'm thinking just the posts, skids and grade boards like you say. Anything else would probably be overkill.

Regular lumber will be fine for anything that's off the ground.

I didn't have doors on this for a year
