Step 2: Lay the Floor

Now attach 4×8 sheets of plywood or another sturdy sheet material to the pallet subfloor. You might also want to take the extra step to sheet both sides of the pallet floor structure and insulate it. This will give you a very strong and sealed base for your house. The thicker the plywood in the floor the better, especially the surface you walk on.

You’ll notice that the plywood overhangs the pallets a little. Just cut off the extra plywood. Be sure to save these small pieces though, you’ll most likely find a use for every piece of extra wood. I’ve been using screws to connect all the wood in the tiny free house simply because I think it’s stronger and the house is mounted on a trailer.
