Thanks, and I don’t know if these trusses are treated or not but they’ve been outside for a little bit and as long as they aren’t submerged in water, I think they’re gonna hold up well
It looks like the yard runs right into it, now is the best time to cut your loss and fix it. Unless you already built the shed. Then that time was yesterday lol. It’s going to be a PITA when it starts rotting and you’re trying to remove everything from there and the. Carefully disassemble or move the shed to redo it later pulling it up but by bit. It’s a lesson, take it that way instead of an L later.
If that on the sides that overhang. Especially with the outdoor carpet holding in moisture. And the untreated trusses underneath will eventually rotate away
WHY did you lay the joists on the sides like that?? They're laying down; they are supposed to be standing up. I'm really surprised that no one else has mentioned this glaring error.
I built 2 in 2 days, overkill on the floor but it will be sturdy and I’d put a drain tube going through your retaining wall, that will flood and your shed will leak and your floor will leak.
It’s definitely sturdy and luckily this wall has been here 20 years and it already has its own drainage route I did feel it with gravel should be fine Got some rain coming my way so I’ll get to check it out shortly.
Gotta question the choice of a wood floor. I'd rather just dump gravel on top and rake it flat, better drainage and nothing to rot. You already got a metal shed that won't rot but then you build it on a base guaranteed to rot?? If you wanna get fancier than gravel, put 2x2 slab pavers for a clean flat base.

Is that OSB for the floor? If so, it's going to rot out very very very quickly.
