BUILDING LAYOUT

The proper and accurate installation of the Bottom Track is crucial to your building
assembly success. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you check and
recheck your measurements. A few extra moments taken now can save significant
time and frustration.
Step 1 – For ease of installation it is important that you work in a clean, safe, and
spacious area. For assembly purposes, allow several feet of extra space around
the building location. Sweep the work area all debris and remove any objects that
might impede the assembly process.
Step 2 – Refer to the Bottom Track Layout in Packing List for the exact
dimensions of your Ebtech building. Strike a chalk line on the floor for your first
wall. Where you begin chalking is not important chalking, but we suggest you
frequently verify your layout sheet for proper lengths and miters.

NOTE: All chalk lines will represent the outside edge of the Base Track.

Step 3 – Construct a 90 degree corner at your walls using one of two methods
shown in Figure #1. Use a large square or the 3-4-5 triangular method to make an
accurate 90 degree corner. Strike a chalk line through this point to mark the
outside edge of the cross wall.

NOTE: It is very important this dimension be established accurately now because
it is very difficult to make modifications when you begin installation.

Figure #1

Step 4 – Complete the perimeter of your building using the dimensions shown on
the Bottom Track drawing.

Step 5 – Locate any door openings and carefully mark these on the floor
accordingly. The space between the Bottom Track for each single standard size
door opening is 38 1/2”.
Step 6 – In a square or rectangular building an easy way to double check the
accuracy of your layout is to measure the diagonals. They should be the some
length. (See Figure #2 below)
