I used 2x4's 16" on center and 3/8 plywood. Doubled up a 2x10 for the center beam.

Dave, 8x12 is small if you plan to store anything in there. Better check with the town before you put a wood stove in there. You are still in the early stages so ask the town how big you can go. I would say you won't be happy with anything less than 12 x 12 or 12 x 16. I know this may sound big but floor space fills up very quickly.

The shed is to be suspended on posts with a crawl space below? You won't get approval for a wood stove in there not to mention the size of the space....you will cook in there like an Easter ham! 5/8 inch plywood for the floor will not adequately support any wood stove of size not to mention you will require some protection for it like brick or sheetmetal on the floors and walls below and behind the stove and the stove is required to sit 3 feet from the wall. My garage is twice the size you are planning and I wish I had more space.
