I would think PL Construction Adhesive would more than adequately do the job.

There are a few different kinds, I think the one I usually get is PL400, it comes in tubes like caulk, and most hardware stores/home improvement places should have it.

I like how all the holes in that shack gives you a lot of opptions on how you want to set up for the day. nice shack.

So was there a sale on hinges or do you take it apart and fold it up?

PL actually makes a special adheisve for just that. i used it last fall when i insulated mine. i let that set up a few hrs then siliconed the foam to the studs. sealed it up tighter and helped also to glue the insulation even better.

got all the foam board all cut and fit, with a little help from my boy.

Started to install the flooring and catch covers, till running in to a problem. The covers don't fit in the 12-3/4 ruff opening they call for. They go in till you get to the step then they stop.

Is that diamond plate on the floor?

Don't forget to colour code or letter your hinges for easier assembly, we didn't and regreted it... was very time consuming as a result. Looking good though !!!!

it's rubber exercise mats that are 24" x 24" and about 1/2 " thick and fit to gather like a jigsaw puzzle.

I really like the new hole cover it looks like a much more compleat floor now.

spork1o1 · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 15, 2012, 07:14 AM »

I got all the catch covers installed, and added 6 round siding vents to aid in a little ventilation.
Now i just need to make a pass through for the propane hose.

Finlay took it off the ice and took it apart so it can be put into storage.

one end wall

other end wall and shorter side wall come off at the same time

every thing stacks on the base
