Layout the parts for the oor as shown. 
Refer to the diagram for spacing. We 
will assemble an 8x12 workshop in this 
manual. The other sizes are the same 
basic structure, just larger. 
Fasten with 2 1/2” screws. We recom-
mend 2 per side. 
Once the frame is fastened lay the 4x4’s 
underneath. Refer to the layout diagram 
for number of 4x4’s and spacing. On 
the larger sizes you will need to splice 
the 4x4’s by applying a gusset to the 
side of them. 
Fasten only the ends of the 4x4’s. You 
will fasten the rest once you know every-
thing is square. 
Measure from one side as shown and 
the the other side. Once these numbers 
are the same, the oor is square. 
Once the oor is squared you can fasten 
the rest of the joists to the 4x4’s.
