Always wear safety glasses when cutting or nailing!
The siding is made with grooves cut into the face,
the long edge is beveled so that the siding overlays
where they butt.
The siding is primed. You will need
to apply a finish coat using latex acrylic paint.
To identify which edge we want you to use, we will
refer to the edge as either the 'LAP' Edge or the
Tongue Edge. Nail siding with 8d galv. nails, spaced
12" apart.
These instructions will construct a 12'x12' Mansfield building If you received two books,
use the one with the latest revision date.
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.
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 Mansfield' includes pre-built barn doors, pre-cut siding and roof sheathing for
EZ 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 4x7
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 have colored ends. All the wall studs have black ends, stack these boards together.
Do Not discard any material until your building is complete.
