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.)

• This shed does not include any oor or leveling materials. Use our optional oor kit with building instructions and nails included.
• See the FLOOR LEVELING section on page 8 for recommended methods and suggested materials to properly level your oor,
as this will vary depending on your specic site.
• If you choose to install your kit on a concrete slab refer to page 6.
• If you choose to build your own wood oor foundation refer to page 7.
REINFORCED WOOD FLOOR FRAME (OPTIONAL)
IMPORTANT! Depending on your specic use you may want to construct a heavy duty oor frame by adding additional oor joists

• 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.
BEGIN
1
See page 8 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 150-5/16" (383,4 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.
Fig. A
150-15/16"
(383,4 cm)
150-15/16"

IMP ORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
Check the oor frame is level after installing oor panels. Re-level if needed.
HINT:

• The oor should be used as a stable work surface for wall construction.
• Organize your assembly procedure during the build process
to avoid over-handling of the walls.

Measure over 96-3/4" and install a second PVA ush to the oor deck. PWA will overhang the oor.
Secure using two 3" screws.
Measure over 48-1/8" and up 22-1/4" from the oor edges and secure the third PWA using two 3" screws.
2
Check this PVA is 22-1/4" at both ends for squareness.
