Springfield, MN | I have one that has the floating foundation. I have a cement floor. When I poured the foundation (floating) we put in rods. When the floor was poured we tied the whole thing together so it cannot go anywhere. I have a crack in the cement floor only in one corner where we may not have gotten things packed well enough. The crack is maybe 2' long. No big deal here.
As far as rust in the cement. I don't remember what it was but the cement was made different when it went around steel than normal cement. This was to prevent rust. I see no problem here either.
Snow loads. I have a deep rib type of Quonset and most of the time the snow melts off quickly. Only once I was advised to help it along. It was a time when lots of other sheds went down when we had over 2' of snow that crusted with ice. A good Quonset should handle around 9' of grain depth without anything special being done to the shed.
I use mine for machinery storage. I park augers and low equipment near the walls and regular machinery (combine and tractors more to the center. I have no wasted space in my shed.
For me it has been good and I wouldn't hesitate to build another. I put in a bi-fold door which is much better than a sliding door. My shed is on the small side at 42' X 60'. The door is 30' X 13'.
