Hello @alexy362 

 

Welcome to Bunnings Workshop! Would it be possible to post some photos of the area. It would help us better assess the area and condition of the floor area so that we can offer best advice to your situation. Just to clarify did you have the area sprayed by the pest control people? I only ask so that we know that you have been protected against a new invasion of white ants. Thank you.

 

Cheers,

Red

Re: How to replace a timber floor?

It's great to have you join us @alexy362, and it's fantastic to see @redracer01 is already assisting.

 

As he's mentioned, some pictures would be very beneficial for our members when offering advice. The steps you've mentioned would be the basic approach, but we'd like to provide some in-depth help, so we'll need to see how those beams will attach to the rest of the frame.

 

I look forward to hearing more about your project.
