• If you will be preparing a cement/concrete slab, it would have to be exactly the same size as the unit. If the concrete slab is larger then you would have to trim the 3” skirting that falls below the bottom plate that is designed to wrap around the flooring.

The above items can easily be purchased by the customer at a local hardware store.

Optional floor kit: 

•  2×4 treated floor joists – 16” O.C

If You’re Building your own floor

• The size of the floor will need to be the exact size of the Barn.
• We recommend a crushed stone base 1′ wider on either side of the Barn.
• The siding overlaps the side of the wood floor roughly 3″ and there is no moisture barrier. You can put this on a cement slab or wood floor – but accommodate this
• You can retrofit for this but we do not provide instructions for this

Do I need a Floor Kit? This depends on your preference. If you are not getting a floor kit from us, you can either build your own floor or create a cement slab for your shed. Please take note that it should be exactly the same size as the shed.

Additional Info:

Base: We recommend a crushed stone base, 1 foot wider than the building on all sides.
