Pontiac, IL.
Don't think a concrete floor will eliminate the dust, there will still be dust. Washed rock (3/8 chips) will not be as dusty as dirt or non washed lime rock. It will also hold the rodents down, because they cannot tunnel-(the chips will not bridge). Disadvantage:





















Don't think that a concrete slab won't be dusty, it will. 3/8 washed chips will hold down the dust and rodents; will not bridge over, so rodents can't tunnel. Disadvantage: It will not pack down, therefore it's a harder to push wagons etc. around. Had a neighbor 40 years ago built his third shed with a full concrete floor. The first 2 had about an inch or two of dirt on them, and after a couple of years , the third one was just like the first two.
