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 151-1/2" (384,8 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 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 to the 4x4 runners at each connection.
See page 7 for the preferred oor leveling method.

Move to the opposite side. Using the long edge of the panel as a lever, move the
panel side-to-side until the top corner is ush to the oor frame (Fig. B).
Maintain the 3/4" measurement along the left edge.
Secure panel using (2) 2" nails in the corners.
Continue securing the panel using 2" nails 6" apart on edges and 12" apart inside panel.
