STEP 1.1
FLOOR FRAME INSTALLATION
The 8x3 floor frame comes in two parts. Install first floor frame in desired position at
desired height and fasten to logs once level and square, then join and fasten next frame
and repeat.
Repeat the steps below for each floor frame, joining the floor frames together as you go in
order displayed in diagram below.
1. Lay out frame in desired position and mark holes to dig, as indicated on diagram
below (use shovel or marking paint).
2. Dig and place logs in holes (using concrete if you wish).
3. Fasten floor frame to logs at desired height, using 4x 100BS per log, ensuring frame is
level*.
4. Butt next floor frame into last installed frame and join using 6x 65BS evenly spaced
along SJ.
5. Repeat process until all frames are joined.
* Fasten frame to logs when roughly level and then critique by hammering in or adding dirt
(or concrete) to corners until perfectly level at every post.
