Hi:
I need to know how to select the proper size wooden joists and their spacing for an 8 by 8 foot storage building that will house a very heavy object-- which is 32 inches by 42 and weighs 860 pounds. Also, would a 3/4" plywood floor attached to these joists give sufficient strength to hold this object? The floor frame (8' by 8') will be attached to 4 by 4 posts set in concrete, spaced 4 feet on center.
Many thanks in advance
