Thanks and it's lasted ok in your shed

It wouldn't have been my first choice but I was on an incredible tight budget and was using materials from skips and Freecycle.
Its lasted well because everything is bone dry. I built the shed using vpm in the walls and roof so I think that has made a huge difference.Tools dont go rusty that quick.

another thing to keep in mind iff the door is on the long wall it may not be possible to get a 2000x 1220mm in if it requires to go in at an angle into a corner and there is not the space to manipulate
as in the diagonal is greater than the length
so just check first before cutting

Did you paint the top surface of the chipboard?

No there has been no need .

Use exterior-grade plywood for the shed floor. Bring smaller pieces if needed and glue and screw them together for a strong, lasting floor.

OSB is normally pretty good, only turns to sweetens if it's persistently damp. Is there a moisture issue with the shed that should be resolved as part of the replacement work?
