How to Build a Shed Floor

Step 7: Fill remaining 4"x4" Posts.

Begin by going down each row, measuring the distance between the 2"x6" support board and the Dek-Block® pier. Next, cut 4"x4" posts to length and position between the support board and the Dek-Block® pier. Repeat until all 4"x4" posts are cut and positioned. Secure all support boards and 4"x4" posts using two 2 1/2" deck screws at an angle from each side (toe-screw).

Deckman's Tip

This is a great job for 2 people. Have one person measure the height for the 4"x4" post, and another person make the cut. Next, go down the rows measuring and cutting all of the posts; then place all the posts at the same time. This may require lifting the frame up slightly in order to get the post under the support board.

If you are building by yourself, go down the rows measuring the height for the 4"x4" posts. Write the measurement on a piece of paper and on the side of the support board. Cut all the 4"x4" posts at once, then position.
