What style of 3/4 wood should be used for the floor? I'm planning on sealing the underside that faces the road as well as the edges so I don't think I need Marine quality board. I was looking at 3/4 x 4 x 8 underlayment at Menards its roughly 25.00 a sheet. Sale ends tomorrow so I'm curious on everyones thoughts.
Thanks

I think the wood you're considering will work as long as it's smooth enough to put tile down and it's sealed from moisture. If it's made for floors and it's 3/4" it should hold up well.
As a side note, I've seen people use a version of particle board. I'd strongly recommend (for obvious reasons) against it even though it's cheap. And anything pressure treated should be avoided.

I'll second nc. The 3/4 subfloor should be fine if sealed properly (edges too as you say could not hurt) and avoid the chip board stuff. Should be smooth enough but if not, some here use a thin luan over old stuff for the flooring to glue to. (That's also done in houses btw).
