I'm finally upgrading the push mower for a zero turn and want to store it in my shed. The shed is a 10'x10' that we built the floor using PT 2"x6" 12" o.c. and then two staggered layers of 1/2" Plywood. That whole frame then sits on a 10'x10' perimeter box made of 4"x4" PT that had 3' metal spikes driven through it in to the ground to help it stay level as it moves with the frost. It's been there about 8 years and as long as you don't take a bubble level to it, you'd think it never moved an inch.


The Zero Turn is 700lbs dry so figure at least 800lbs, my uneducated gut says I'm fine, but I wanted to double check with smarter people:bowdown:

You’re easily good to go. No problem with the weight. If you’re concerned when it’s there long term like over the non mowing season, cut a couple 12” squares of 3/4” plywood and put one under each tire. But I wouldn’t worry about it.
