GUARDIAN WOODEN FLOOR

• The optional Guardian kitset wooden floor is precut and designed

to be fitted into the shed after the shed is assembled.

• Assemble shed as per instructions and fit floor last.

(see page 13 for details).

CONCRETE SLAB FOR RAISED BASE PLATE SHED

To build a raised concrete slab for your shed to sit on, we recom-

mend the following:

• The raised slab size should be 15mm smaller than the base

size of the shed and at least 30mm above ground line.

• The slab should be 80mm thick in the middle and 100mm

thick around the edges.

• The slab should be laid on a solid or compacted base.

• Plastic sheeting under slab will prevent moisture coming

through from underneath.

• During construction, you may raise the bottom timber

plate to allow the wall cladding to protrude 20mm below

the bottom plate. This will stop water flowing between

the bottom plate and the concrete floor.

See note on page 8.

RAISED BASE PLATE OPTION

(For sheds placed on a raised concrete floor)

No doubt by now you will have decided what sort of base you are putting down.

Please read the section that applies to your situation.

If you choose to pour a concrete base you will need to decide whether you wish to raise the base plate of your shed.

This allows the cladding to protrude below the surface of the concrete and ensures a water tight pad.

See concrete pad specifications below

By choosing this option you will need to make the concrete pad to the specification below.
