Ensure that the frame is level before installing 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 173-1/16" (440 cm).
When the frame is level and square, secure one side of frame to the 4x4 runners with 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

After the fl oor frame is level and square, fasten the frame to the 4x4 runners at each point where the frame
contacts the 4x4 runners.
See page 8 for the preferred fl oor leveling method.
