Download the most current instruction book at www.barnkits.com; use the "manuals"
link on the menu bar and then select your building kit and size.

Thank you for purchasing our Brandon kit.  The material that is included in our kit is listed
on the back page.  The optional floor package, if ordered, will be supplied by a local lumber

supplier.

Our kit does not include the shingles, the quantity needed is listed on the back page.  The
siding is primed. You will need to apply a finish coat using latex acrylic paint.

Our framing lumber is imported to provide you the highest quality available.  However, if
you need to replace any lumber for any reason please do so and we will reimburse you.

Our 'Deluxe Brandon' includes pre-built barn doors, pre-cut siding and roof sheathing for
easy assembly.

IMPORTANT: Unpack the material from the pallet, then unscrew the bottom 2x4s from
the pallet runners. The bit for the screws is packed in the hardware bag. Remove the OSB

panel from the sheet goods pallet, it will be used for roof sheathing.

Stacking the boards, according to size, will make them easier to find when needed. Some
boards may have colored ends.  Do Not discard any material until your building is complete.

If you have any questions about assembling the kit, call 800-245-1577. If you are calling
after normal business hours, call 724-866-HELP (4357) or email to [email protected].

Before you begin construction, be sure to study this assembly manual. Also, obtain a building
permit and check all pertinent building code regulations.

Thank you for your purchase.

Bill & Linda Rinella, owners
