PANEL TIP > Stagger your panel placement
with two panels on one side of the beam, four
panels on the other side, and four back on the
first side of the beam. This will help your beam
stay straight.
Assemble floor panels using a scissor action.
Use the truck ratchet straps or a device like
the Jimmy’s Strapjack Panel Puller to help pull
panels together as needed, you can also try
using blocks of wood and a sledgehammer.
After all the panels are in place, install the rims
using Premier Mastic. Refer to PBS details
for the location of the sealant on the rim.
Check for proper Panel Screw placement and
spacing. Tighten all screws. Make sure to nail
off the tops and bottoms of all the floor panel
connections as well as the entire perimeter of
the floor panels.
