The Yahoo community helped greatly to select the size of the materials to build a 2nd florr for my shed. 2 X 6 beams with 3/4 inch plywood is what I will use.
Question: With 2 X 6 beams, I assume I will need 8 " nails to secure the beams to the wood frame. How many nails on each end to lay the beams?
Also, what size nails or screws to secure the flooring to the 2 X 6 beams?

You won't be nailing the 2x6 through the long way. a 16 penny nail will do for securing the 2x6 to the wood frame. The 2x6 will be up and down the same as your frame will be. you should put at least 3 nails per end 1 in the center and 1 on top and bottom about 3/4 inch to 1 inch from the end. screwing down the plywood i would suggest at least a 1 1/4 inch wood screw. That will give you the 3/4 inch plywood plus 1/2 inch into the floor joice.
