Why go to all the trouble to pour concrete, make a floor of whatever
composition, grade it, and go to all this work for a piece of plastic that
will not last or blow away with the first good gale?
Build a real shed.
Some two by fours, siding, and shingles won't cost much more, and will give
you a better shed than a little 4 x 6 locker.
What can you put in a 4 x 6 locker? I call it a locker, because it is too
small to put anything else in there unless, like collegians in a phone
booth, you want to just stack things in there like sardines, and have no
real utility at all when going to fetch an item.
MHO, YMMV.
