UNDERSTANDING PROPER FLOOR CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE BUILDINGS, SHEDS

Chapter 4: What You Need To Know About Shed Floor Construction

Leonard Sheds are built using its famous Notched Skid Floor System™

Sturdy pressure treated 4"x6" skids are notched so that the 2”x6” pressure treated joists are wedged tightly before securing. Joists have bracing blocks and are fastened to skids using large ring-shanked nails. The joists are covered using a high grade 3/4" engineered wood product underlayment suitable for carpet, vinyl or other finished flooring options. Some of our more popular units also feature a painted floor and kick-plate around the interior base. *Economy units have a 5/8 plywood flooring and smaller units have 2"x4" pressure treated joists.
