I am building a 20'x40' shed/workshop. I was wondering what you guys think about what would be cheaper for the floor. Can I put 6x6s on top of the gravel and do 3/4'' plywood right on top of them, without 2x6 framing, or do I have to do 2x6 framing on top of 6x6s before plywood. OR........would it be cheaper just to do concrete monolithic foundation ( 2'deep X 8'' wide and a 3''-4'' slab)?
Usually there are 10 in a bundle.
A 2x6 typically refers to a dimensional lumber that measures 2 inches by 6 inches in cross-section. However, the actual length of a 2x6 can vary widely, as it is commonly available in standard lengths such as 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 feet. It's important to check with the supplier for the specific length needed for your project.

The maximum span allowed for 2x6 ceiling joists according to the 2x6 ceiling joist span table is typically around 12 feet.
The primary difference between a 2x4 and a 2x6 piece of wood is their dimensions; a 2x4 measures approximately 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches, while a 2x6 measures about 1.5 inches by 5.5 inches. This difference in width provides the 2x6 with greater strength and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for structural applications where more support is needed. Additionally, the choice between the two often depends on the specific requirements of a project, such as insulation space or aesthetic considerations.
The maximum span for a 2x6 roof joist without compromising its structural integrity is typically around 9 feet. Beyond this span, additional support such as beams or columns may be needed to prevent sagging or failure.
