Are you talking about making the floor , the joists out of 2x4 and the rim
or band boards out of 4x4s? I am sure it can be done, however I would not
want to walk on it or try to load anything on it, I would use 2x8's spaced
16 inches on center, with the same size Rim joists, then use 3/4 ( actually
I think it is 23/32) inch T&G exterior ply for the decking. You then set
your walls.

Subject: [DIY] 4X4 as frame?
Is there any problem with making a frame for an 8ft square shed out of
4X4X8s? It would give me exactly the measurements I want. I would use 2X4s
as the joists in the middle. What length and width of screw would one use
to nail them together without splitting?
I thought about screwing together two 2X6s but I'd still be .5 inch short.
I don't have a lot of carpentry skills to work with here and would rather
not have to do a bunch of extra cutting if I can get what I need from 4X4s.
The shed will be on blocks if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Melissa
