Default Metal shed flooring system, use it or not?

We ordered a metal shed kit with anchor kit for use on a cement
slab. Along with the anchor kit came a flooring kit, beams over
which the consumer lays plywood or decking, or fills with sand.

I am unsure if it is wise to use the flooring system. This new
shed replaces a similar shed that had chronic problems with water
running in under the frame, especially in windy wet weather.
Stuff to be kept dry had to be kept up off the slab. Will using
this flooring kit create a mold problem in the shed? Or habitat
for insects and rodents?

Hi,
I set up two sheds one at my back yard and one out at my cabin.
I used the kit and used 5/8" plywood after reinforcing(bracing) the kit
(too wimpy) Been OK for ~10 years. Sounds like you are in wet climate. I
am far up North of 49th.
