BUILDING THE FLOOR-BASE
See Floor Recommendation on Page 4.
Tips for preparing and planning your cooler foundation:
• If the cooler is to sit outside, mark the area with stakes and dig the area (3-4 inches) to remove
all vegetation. Fill the area with 3 to 4 inches of gravel and spread the gravel with a rake.
• Using a straight flat board (like a 2x4), spread the gravel evenly and with a level on top of the
2x4 ensure that the surface is level. Repeat as necessary all around the bed pushing the gravel
with the board and checking for a level surface all around so that it will be ready to receive the
Floor-Base of the Cooler.
• We attached our Floor-Base (diagram below) on three 4x4 skids because we wanted to be able
to move the shed with a forklift to another location after the build. You don’t have to use the
4x4 skids shown on the pictures of this guide.
• If you have a concrete pad outside, ensure the surface is level. You can place the base directly
on top without using the 4 x 4 skids shown on the pictures of this guide.
