How to Make a Floor for a Shed

Most of the time people use cement to build the floor of a shed, but with this method you won't have to. This is pressure treated wood and it's not messy.

4 planks of wood
6 stakes to stick in the ground
String or rope
Line level
1 box of 2-1/2 inch screws
Drill
Shovel
2 Yards of dirt or fill depending how level your ground is
10 - 2x6 of pressure treated wood

Instructions

- 1
  Determine a size. Then you put stakes in the ground, and make 4 corners to square it off. When you have 4 corners with the stakes. you get your string or rope and you make an "X" and make sure each corner is the same size. Then you get your line level and make sure each side is leveled.

  When all 4 sides is leveled you get your plank wood and you dig deep into the ground until you see the tip od the wood sticking out on top. You line the wood to the bottom of the string, you make your box and fill it with dirt or fill which ever you have until it's to the top of the wood. When it is leveled put 1 2X6 piece of wood across the center. Then the rest of the 2X6 of wood you screw each one going across. Do not use a hammer or nails. Hammering will make the wood go down deeper into the dirt.
