ORIENT LUMBER AND TRIM FOR BEST APPEARANCE

Framing lumber is graded for structural strength and not appearance. Exterior trim is graded for one good side.

Always install the material leaving the best edge and best surface visible. Please remember that these blemishes in no way
negatively affect the strength or integrity of our product. (See Fig. A, B, C.)

• Level under 4x4 runners only.

• Locate leveling material 12" from ends of runners and no more than 48" apart.

• Asphalt shingles should be used between 4x4 runners and blocks or treated lumber. Never use

shingles in direct contact with ground.

• For best results and aiding in water drainage use gravel under each concrete block.

LEVEL AND SQUARE FLOOR FRAME

BEGIN

Before attaching oor decking, it is important to level and square the oor frame.

A level and square oor frame is required to correctly construct your shed.

1

See page 7 for the preferred oor leveling method.

2

Use level and check the frame is level before applying oor panels.

Check for frame squareness by measuring diagonally across corners. If the measurements are the

3

same, the frame is square. The diagonal measurement will be approximately 133-5/16" (338,6 cm).

4

When the frame is level and square secure one side of frame to the 4x4 runners using one fastener at
ends of each runner. At the opposite end of the frame, secure the frame to 4x4 runners with one fastener
at ends of each runner making sure the frame remains square (Fig. A).

FINISH

Once the oor frame is level and square fasten the frame at each point the frame contacts the 4x4

5

runners.

Second, secure at ends
with one fastener.

Check the fl oor frame is square by measuring diagonally across the frame corners. If the measurements
are the same, your fl oor frame is square. The measurement will be approximately 133-5/16" (Fig. C).

Ensure your wall frame is square by installing one panel and squaring frame.

1

Place a 46-1/8 x 72" panel onto wall frame with primed side up as shown.

Locate the panel 1-1/2" above the top plate. Use a DQ as a gauge block for
the 1-1/2" top overhang measurement. Use the GAA gauge block to mark
the 3/4" side measurement on the wall stud. Secure panel with two 2" nails
in the corners (Fig. A).

2

Move to the opposite end. Using the long edge of the panel as a lever, move
the panel side-to-side until you have a 3/4" measurement on the wall stud.
Secure corner with two 2" nails (Fig. B).
