The floor is covered with interlocking plastic grating about an inch deep which are overlain by interlocking EVA tiles to about an inch fro the walls. I have no mold or dampness problems with this arrangement and a pot of Zilch dehumidifier pellets.
I have three bays and this is probably more than I need.
If you aim for automation make sure that the floor slab has adequate foundations to maintain its position and its surface horizontal.
Cheers

Thanks Chris -that’s great info on the floor and pier. I was going to do an isolated pier foundation of ~1 cubic metre with a metal pier on this, and a concrete slab surrounding this on crushed gravel base. I might have to do some additional deeper corner foundations on the slab to help keep that all level… Do you have your dome automated?
Cheers,
Mat
