  • Page 11 FLOOR FRAME LEVEL AND SQUARE FLOOR FRAME Before attaching fl oor decking, it is important to level and square the fl oor frame. A level and square fl oor frame is required to correctly construct your shed. BEGIN See page 7 for the preferred fl oor leveling method. Use level and check the frame is level before applying fl 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 173-1/16" (439,6 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. Move to the opposite end of the frame. Secure the frame to 4x4 runners using one fastener at ends of each runner making sure the frame remains square (Fig. A).
  • Page 12 IMPORTANT! Check that the floor frame is level after installing floor panels.
