Important
- if there is a gap between Ridge Boards, try pushing
rear wall and Door Header closer together from outside. Before moving on with further steps, confirm
your shed is square at wall height by checking the diagonal distance of the top walls on the inside. In
both directions, the distance should be approximately
95 1/2”
depending on where you measure. It is
important that both diagonal measurements are approximately equal. If not, adjust walls until an equal
distance is achieved.
