Best flooring for damp springhouse?
I have a springhouse sitting atop a mostly buried, 14' X 14' open-top
concrete cistern. The plywood flooring is rotted and needs to be replaced. Though the cistern has some vents below the floor level, the underside of the floor is essentially a high-humidity environment. What is the best material or construction to use for this floor? Things I have considered: 1) pressure-treated plywood (rejected, since this sits just over our drinking water), 2) Marine-grade plywood (very expensive) 3) exterior-grade plywood, installed over a vapor barrier (6 mil poly sheeting?) What will work best? Thanks, Kelly |
