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.)

BUILDING ANATOMY

This building has been designed using our patented EZ Frame construction method. EZ Frame is a unique construction method which has been engineered to use fewer framing members. This reduces assembly time and cost by as much as 30% compared to conventional construction methods. EZ Frame patent no. 5,666,766

All of our buildings have been engineered to withstand demanding wind and snow loads.

If you live in an area with extreme wind/snow load requirement, contact

us and we can assist with engineering to meet your local codes.

1 Sub-assembled doors.

2. 2x3 wall studs have been engineered to support roof load and to meet demanding wind loads.

3. Sidewall top and bottom plates tie wall studs together and provide nailing support for top and bottom edge of siding.

4. Rafters line up over wall studs to effectively transfer roof load to the oor and eliminate need for double top plate. Oversized wood gussets at peak provide a strong connection for rafter halves.

5. Treated siding overhangs the wall framing and oor to keep the elements out.

6. Collar ties and storage loft tie sidewalls together to prevent spreading under heavy roof loads.

7. Corner studs & end rafters are positioned to the outside of the siding where they serve the dual purpose of framing and trim.

8 The EZ Frame design transfers the roof load to the side walls allowing for reduced framing at the front and back wall.

9. Treated oor frame and Oriented Strand Board (OSB) oor (not included).

FLOOR LEVELING OPTIONS

There are multiple ways to level your oor frame. Our recommended leveling method is shown below.

Gravel

• 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

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.

See page 8 for the preferred oor leveling method.

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

same, the frame is square. The diagonal measurement will be approximately 167-3/8" (425 cm).

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).

Second, secure at ends with one fastener.

First, secure at ends with

one fastener.

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

runners.

FLOOR PANELS (NOT INCLUDED)

PARTS REQUIRED:

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

BEGIN

Attach the 5/8 x 48 x 96” panel with the rough side up (painted grid lines side) with the 48”

edge and corner flush to the floor frame (Fig A). Secure panel with two 2” nails in the corners

Move to the opposite end. Using the long edge of the panel as a lever, move the panel side-to-side until the

top corner is flush to the floor frame (Fig. B). Secure panel with two 2" nails in the corners.

Check the floor frame is square by measuring diagonally across the frame corners. If the measurements are the

same your floor frame is square. The measurement will be approximately 167-3/8" (425 cm) (Fig. C).

Continue attaching the panel using 2" nails 6" apart on edges and 12" apart inside panel. Use a chalk line or use pre-painted grid lines to nail into joists under panel.
