i no a few flyers with meshed front lofts but in winter they screw a large piece of plastic onto the front to stop rain getting in most have normal plywood floors some have floor grills

 

all the best.

The floor will be slippy with that on it but it will be easy cleaned. You should do everything to keep the rain off it and it'll be ok. I put huge tile like sheets on the floors in 2 lofts and think its great. Have since put deep litter on it and its ok with that too. When i say huge i mean 9ft by 4 and a half foot, heavy things as well. Same rule as any other flooring though, keep it dry.

i am going to use the plastic for shutter and ply for the floor

I have my Aviary around 18 inches off the ground and I purchases plastic floor grills for the loft. However, I didn't like them in the loft so used them in my aviary, which makes life so much easier. I haven't needed to clean the Aviary for over 12 months, as there isn't any need. If you can't use floor grills, I would use a heavy mesh and if you need to walk on it, temporarily place a plank of wood over the mesh to offer support. Photo's attached. And no jokes about it looking like a prison cell. It gets the sun all day (when it rarely shines in this country) and the birds love it!
