What happens here
Once the floor frame is fully constructed and verified to be level, sheets of oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood are laid over the floor joists. These panels, such as those labeled 'ADVANTECH' or 'FLAT OUT BEST', are then securely fastened to the joists using appropriate fasteners like 2-inch galvanized nails or screws, driven by a nail gun or hammer. This step creates the solid, load-bearing floor surface of the shed. The builder in the video efficiently places and fastens these panels, working systematically across the entire floor frame.
Goal: Create the shed's floor surface
