It sounds like you are going to have a crawl space under your shed. Is that right? If you poured a concrete slab (3 1/2" deep) instead of having a crawl space then your problem would be solved.

When I replaced the floors in our house, I installed a beam down the center of the room under the floor joists. I used Dek-Blockｮ to support the 4x4 posts. I used two 2x6 boards, one on each side of the post and attached them with carriage bolts. I think I could park a Volkswagen in our front room and the floor wouldn't sag.
