Can I use 2x4s instead of 2x6s?

I'm getting a shed and it does not have a floor base, so I'm going to build a floor for it. My question is can I use 2x4s instead of 2x6s? Trying to save money where I can cause I'm not made of money and wife and kids get all mine lol. Nothing too heavy going in there except power washer and generator are my two heaviest things. My plan is to place my weed/moisture barrier, then either rock or mulch on top on that, put concrete pavers down with adjustable floor joist supports. Where the heavy parts are going to be I'm going to add extra supports and pavers to stop the sagging. Will this be ok? submitted by /u/R1ckyDaRoss [link] [comments]
