• 3" Screw angled into 4x4.
• (2) at each point frame
and 4x4 touch.
4x4 Runners
(not included).
• 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.

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 133-5/16" (338,6 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. 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).
Once the oor frame is level and square fasten the frame at each point the frame contacts the 4x4
runners.
See page 7 for the preferred oor leveling method.
