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].

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 kit includes barn doors that have been pre-built.  The siding and roof sheathing
has also been pre-cut 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.

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.
