Torpedo LevelĀ
Tier Construction: Each platform level must be supported using exactly one of each spacer item:
One 1/2" Diameter Dowel
One 3/8" Diameter Dowel
One 1/2" Stick
One 3/4" Stick
Leveling Requirement: Because the spacers are unequal in thickness, wood shims must be inserted strategically under or over spacers to bring each OSB platform completely level before adding the next level.
Establish a Stable Foundation First
Place spacers near the outer edges and corners of each OSB sheet rather than grouping them toward the center. A wider base prevents tipping and structural rocking under weight.
Measure Twice Before Adding Layers
Check for level along both the length ($X$-axis) and width ($Y$-axis) before placing the next OSB tier. Correcting errors early prevents compound misalignments higher up.
