TUF 800 FLOOR (Optional) 

PURPOSE BUILT FLOOR 

Step 1:

 Select  the  two  Floor  Boards  which  have 

checked  out  corners.  Position  at  front  and 
back of the shed so they fit around Studs. 

For  sheds  being  placed  on  a  purpose  built  floor,  we 
recommend  that  the  studs  are  shortened  by  30mm. 
The Wall  Sheets  will  then  protrude  20mm  below  the 
Base  Plate.  This  will  stop  water  flowing  in  between 
the Base Plate and Floor. 
 
If  you  choose  this  option,  the  Floor  should  be  made 
15mm smaller than Base Size. 
 

Note:

  Although  it  is  not  essential,  fitting  Damp 

Proof Course in between the Base Plate and 
the  Floor  will  give  added  protection  against 
moisture. 

i.e. CONCRETE / PLYWOOD 

Step 2:

 Lay  out  remaining  Floor  Boards.  Nail  in 

each  Floor  Board,  two  50mm  nails  each 
end and two into each Floor Joist.
