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.

CONCRETE FOUNDATION
If you choose to install your kit on a concrete slab, refer to the diagram below.
• A treated 2 x 4 (5,1 x 10,2 cm) sill plate is required when installing your shed on concrete.
Use treated lumber supplied in kit or purchase full length treated lumber.
• Use a high quality exterior grade caulk beneath all sill plates.
• Fasten 2 x 4 (5,1 x 10,2 cm) sill plates to slab using approved concrete anchors (fasteners not included).
• Check local code for concrete foundation requirements.
NOTES
Allow new concrete slabs to cure for at least seven (7) days.

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.
BEGIN

1
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 167-1/4" (424,8 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 point the frame
contacts the 4x4 runners.
See page 7 for the preferred  oor leveling method.
First, secure at ends with one fastener.
Second, secure at ends with one fastener.

Move to the opposite side. Using the long edge of the panel as a lever, move thepanel side-to-side until the top

Use a chalk line or use pre-painted grid lines to nail into joists under panel.
Check that the oor frame is square by measuring diagonally across the frame corners. If the measurements are
the same your oor frame is square. The measurement will be approximately 167-5/16" (425 cm).
Attach the 48 x 96" panel with the 48" edge and corner ush to the outside of the oor frame (Fig A)
and 3/4" along the oor joist. Use the GAA gauge block for the 3/4" measurement.
Secure panel using two 2" nails in the corners.
