Use a level and check that the frame is level before installing floor panels.
Check for frame squareness by measuring diagonally across the corners.
If the measurements are the same, the frame is square.
The diagonal measurement will be approximately 170-1/4" (432,4 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 using one
fastener at ends of each runner making sure the frame remains square
(Fig. A)
.
Once the floor frame is level and square fasten the frame to the 4x4 runners at each point where
the frame contacts the 4x4 runners.
See page 7 for the preferred floor leveling method.
