FLOOR LEVELING OPTIONS
There are multiple ways to level your oor frame. Our recommended leveling method is shown below.
Leveling materials are not included in this kit.
• 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.
LEVELING METHODS
• If you are building your shed on a concrete foundation see the following page.

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
where the frame contacts the 4x4 runners.
See page 7 for the preferred oor leveling method.
