LEVELING & SQUARING THE FLOOR FRAME (Not Included)
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.
Use a level and ensure the frame is level before applying fl oor panels.
BEGIN
Check for frame squareness by measuring diagonally across the corners.

If the measurements are the same, the frame is square.
• The diagonal measurement for 10' x 12' will be approximately 187-7/16" (476,1 cm) (Fig. A).
After the frame is level and square, secure one side of frame to 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 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. B).
4x4 runners are generally installed 12" (30,5 cm) from ends of fl oor frame and under any seams.
