You will need

- 20mm screws
- 25mm x 50mm battening cut to fit around edges of floor

Instructions
- Handy hints: Always ensure paints and primers are stirred well immediately before using. If necessary, treat any areas of mould with Resene Moss & Mould Killer. For any old stained or natural timber wash with a solution of Resene Timber and Deck Wash to provide a clean surface ready for painting.
- Top tip: Rough sawn timber makes for very cost effective shed flooring but is prone to potential splinters. We recommend painting or staining it. If it is particularly rough it may need sanding first to remove splinters.
- To get the look: Mark previously painted the wall cupboard with Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Gum Leaf and Resene Cascade.
- Other ideas: Instead of painting the floor, it could also have been stained with Resene Colorwood interior wood stain and finished with Resene Qristal ClearFloor.
Step one
Remove rotten flooring and any old nails or screws.
Step two
Brush down and clean all woodwork to remove any dust and dirt.
Step three
Lay the fence palings across floor joists, as shown, fixing with decking nails and cutting where necessary. Continue until the floor is complete. Fix pieces of battening around the outer edges of the floor using 50mm nails.
Step four
Attach the plywood panels to the ceiling battens with screws
Step five
Apply one coat of
Resene Quick Dry to the edges of the ceiling and rafters using a brush.

If painting under marginal conditions oil based primers can cure with an oily surface layer, which can cause cissing of waterborne topcoats. If this occurs, wipe the primer surface with Resene Thinner No.2.

Resene Alabaster to the edges of the ceiling and rafters using a brush.
Step ten
Apply one coat of
Resene Alabaster to the ceiling panels with a roller. Once dry, apply a second coat of Resene Alabaster to the rafters and ceiling and allow to dry.
