Shed Flooring - Possible?

What goes into flooring for a shed? and for painting/spray painting the walls (wooden). I have laminate flooring left over from my kitchen indoors that I would like to use for my shed - is this possible and what would be necessary to do this?

"All depends on what type of shed you have or what is your shed e.g concrete pad or but personally if it’s mdf laminate I wouldn’t risk it as if any sort of water gets to it it’ll swell up and could possibly ruin the floor"

"As long as shed base is prepared properly ie if it’s concrete floor you must put down a DPM , if it’s wood base then I wouldn’t advise laminate"

"Concreate base and if you want to put a laminate
Floor down make sure you put some DPM down first before laying concrete"

"First you need a DPM sheet on the ground to protect from damp.
Secondly you need 5mm insulation.
Then you can lay a floating floor on top."
