Thank you for purchasing our shed kit. Read the instructions before starting the assembly of

the building. If you have any questions about assembling the kit, call 800-245-1577. Business
hours (8:00-5:00 ET) Monday thru Friday. After 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 purchased, 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.

Most buildings are installed on a wood floor and the siding was designed to extend over the
wood flooring.  If the foundation is a concrete floor cut the siding flush with the bottom of the
wall plate to prevent the concrete from contacting the siding.

The (2) two center boards on the shipping pallet can be removed and used for wall bracing.

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.
