BUILDING ANATOMY

1. Sub-assembled doors with attached hinges.

2. 2x3 wall studs have been engineered to support roof load and to meet demanding wind loads.

3. Sidewall top and bottom plates tie wall studs together and provide nailing support for top and bottom edge of siding.

4. Rafters line up over wall studs to effectively transfer roof load to the oor and eliminate need for double top plate.

Oversized wood gussets at peak provide a strong connection for rafter halves.

5. Treated siding overhangs the wall framing and oor to keep the elements out.

6. Collar tie and over-door header maintains door frame integrity.

7. Corner studs & end rafters are positioned to the outside of the siding where they serve the dual purpose of framing and trim.

8. The EZ Frame design transfers the roof load to the front and back walls allowing for reduced framing at the side walls.

9. Treated oor frame and Oriented Strand Board (OSB) oor (not included).

This building has been designed using our patented EZ Frame construction method.

EZ Frame is a unique construction method which has been engineered to use fewer

framing members. This reduces assembly time and cost by as much as 30% compared to

conventional construction methods. EZ Frame patent no. 5,666,766

All of our buildings have been engineered to withstand demanding wind and snow loads.

If you live in an area with extreme wind/snow load requirement, contact

us and we can assist with engineering to meet your local codes.

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.

PREFERRED METHOD - 4x4 TREATED 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.

LEVELING METHODS

• If you are building your shed on a concrete foundation see the following page.

CONCRETE

MATERIAL REQUIRED

Fasteners for Frame to 4"x 4".

(3" Screws shown as one option.) Minimum (28) 3" screws / exterior grade.

CONCRETE FOUNDATION

If you choose to install your kit on a concrete slab refer to the diagram below.

• A treated 2 x 4" (5 x 10 cm) sill plate is required when installing your shed on concrete. Hint: Purchase full length treated lumber.

• Use a high quality exterior grade caulk beneath all sill plates.

• Fasten 2 x 4" (5 x 10 cm) sill plates to slab using approved concrete anchors (fasteners not included).

• Check local code for concrete foundation requirements.

NOTES

Treated Sill Plate

Caulk between sill plate

and concrete.

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.

2

3

4

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 170-9/16" (433,3 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 x4 runners at each point the frame

contacts the 4x4 runners.

See page 8 for the preferred  oor leveling method.

12

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).

Secure panel with two 2" nails in the corners.

2

BEGIN

1

3

4Continue attaching the panel using 2" nails 6" apart on edges and 12" apart inside panel.

Use a chalk line or use pre-painted grid lines to nail into joists under panel.

Ensure your oor frame is square by installing one panel

and squaring frame.

Check 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 170-9/16" (433,3 cm) (Fig. C).
