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 fl 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 fl 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 fl oor frame and Oriented Strand Board (OSB) fl 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 OPTIONSThere are multiple ways to level your fl 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

x2

Fasteners for Frame to 4"x 4".(3" Screws shown as one option.) Minimum (28) 3" screws / exterior grade.

Use only wood treated for ground contact and fasteners approved for use with treated wood.

Always support frame seams.

CONCRETE FOUNDATIONIf 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 FRAMEBefore attaching fl oor decking, it is important to level and square the fl oor frame.

A level and square fl oor frame is required to correctly construct your shed.

2

3

4

Use level and check the frame is level before applying fl 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 fl 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 fl oor leveling method.

Ensure your fl oor frame is square by installing one paneland squaring frame.

Check the fl oor frame is square by measuring diagonally across the frame corners. If the measurements are the same your fl oor frame is square. The measurement will be approximately 170-9/16" (433,3 cm) (Fig. C).
