LEVELING & SQUARING THE FLOOR FRAME (Not Included)
Before attaching floor decking, it is important to level and square the floor frame.
A level and square floor frame is required to correctly construct your shed.
Use a level and ensure the frame is level before applying floor panels.
BEGIN
Check for frame squareness by measuring diagonally across the corners (diagonal measurement D).
1
If the measurements are the same, the frame is square. Use the chart below to determine measurement D.
First, secure at ends with
one fastener.
NOTE:
10' x 10' floor shown as an example.
4x4 runners are generally installed 12" (30,5 cm) from ends of floor frame and under any seams.
After the frame is level and square, secure one side of frame to 4x4 runners using
2
one fastener at ends of each runner.
At the opposite end of the frame, secure the frame to 4x4 runners with one
fastener at the ends of each runner, ensuring that the frame remains square.
Fasten the frame to the 4x4 runners with (2) 3" screws at each connection (Fig. A).
FINISH
Your floor frame is now level.
