Need ideas... Tuff Shed ..

Hi! In putting this under DIY because carpentry thinks this is a DIY project... Whatever. I have a Tuff Shed that was built and placed on a wood plywood foundation. Rats ended up finding their way through the foundation built and nested in between the 2x4s under the plywood. The wood wasn't pressure treated that framed the 'subfloor' and it began to rot. So we completely removed the plywood and 2x4s and we're going to set it on the flat cement deck. The ground is perfectly level, but the owner wants to put a silicon caulking sealent under the tuff shed before we set it back on the ground. But is that enough to seal out water/rodents from squeezing coming underneath? I suggested we still use a steel or aluminum flashing be secured to the bottom tuff shed.. but would that even be necessary? The picture is a tape flashing... submitted by /u/Disastorous_You_1987 [link] [comments]
