do you need to build a floor for this shed? We will be placing it on concrete tiles on a terrace... so it won't be in dirt

you need to tie in / anchor down the walls along the perimeter. if you can do so on your tile, you will be ok.

No, the floor is an integral part of the shed. It holds the four sides together. Without the floor there would be nothing to hold the walls together.

For the actual assembly a cordless drill/screwdriver, rubber mallet and the stepladders were enough. Levelling the ground was another story, it has to be PERFECTLY level or you cant get it put together. Youll need a string level, stakes, shovel, rake etc. they recommend building a concrete platform which is probably more than most people buying a plastic shed would do. Its actually decent quality once assembled, and you definitely need 2 people. Good luck!

I don't recall if there were any type of footings (such as rubber or plastic) that would work well on a floor. Since I used it outside, I just pushed the ends right into the dirt. It might slide around too much or scratch a floor without any footing material. Probably should check description of what's included in the box, or go for it, and get creative...it would definitely be beautiful with some kind of pots (you could kind of hide the pots with various decor) filled with climbing roses/jasmine/tulle, etc. Good luck!

No, there is no floor. I left it on the grass for a while and it was fine, later we moved it onto soft rubber tiles just to keep from having to move it around when I cut the grass!

On concrete you should not need the floor frame kit, or plywood. just a drill and a couple of concrete anchors. I bought the anchor kit and it was overkill, 4 anchors should be enough.

I wouldn't call it a floor. You would require a Heavy Duty tarp underneath tent for best protection.

I would be comfortable walking on it barefoot, it's a little rough but not bad. As for the baby crawling on it, it might be a little rough for those delicate little knees. It's not as abrasive as concrete but also not as smooth as a vinyl or ceramic tile floor.

The shed kit comes with vinyl flooring included. However, I would suggest creating a solid sub-base with wood, gravel, concrete, pavers, etc.

Yes it comes with a floor. The 'how to assemble' video by the company stresses having a level surface to put it on and that's very important. We didn't have concrete. My husband leveled the area and put down gravel between railroad ties to form a foundation.

can't answer this as I ended up returning the floor. My maintenance guy insisted on building a solid floor for the shed- which was definitely the right thing to do as it went up in no time and is completely solid.

I would to have a more solid floor. I did not have to do that with mine because I already had slab/cement flooring.

This kit does not come with a floor. You either have to pour your own concrete slab or a build a wood platform. I built a wood platform and that took longer than building the shed itself.

I have these tiles laid directly on dirt in backyard. Even after it rains, the most I would need to do is smack the tiles with a broom to loosen the dirt.

The shed with a floor kit made of the same material as the shed. It was pretty for us to prepare a level surface on the dirt for installation.

They probably could be, but I wouldn't. The dirt would have to be perfectly flat or the tiles won't connect to each other. I don't know your climate, but what would happen if it rained a lot and the dirt underneath got soft? Or what about snow? The tiles may no longer be even. I used these tiles for an indoor application on a concrete floor. They are fantastic. I've seen them installed around a pool area on one of the home improvement shows, but I can't remember what surface they were using underneath. It may have been dirt but maybe you could research them online at HGTV or one of those kinds of sites and get better information.

No, this set does not have a floor. If you set it on a patio or deck, then there is less worry about mud. We did use ours on the back porch, and then on the grass in the yard. Kids loved it both places.
