I am building a new house. The rough in for the shop (450 sq ft) is 3/4 ply glued and screwed to 12 inch TGI joists. I have been looking for material for the floor. One thought is "car siding". If you turn it over it is a flat surface. However, underneath, the joints have a thin spot where the tongue and groove meet.

I am skeptical of this plus the fact that the wood is pine and may be a bit soft for a shop. My only other alternative seems to be a #2 or #3 oak plank flooring. The remainder of the house will be oak F&S.
Has anybody out there used something different with success (that doesn't break the bank).
