If you want to install windows in the end walls, review the 'General Window Instructions'
on the next page and go to Step 3 for instructions on building the wall frame.
2.
Install (7) seven pre-cut wall studs between the top & bottom plates. Nail studs to wall plates
with 16d galvanized nails for the treated bottom plate and 16d coated sinker nails for the
untreated top plate; (2) two nails on each stud end.
Step 2
Assemble 12' End Wall - Without Windows
3.
Square the wall frame. Install the first siding panel with the 'LAP' edge flush with the end
of the wall and nail siding with 8d galvanized box nails spaced 8" apart.
4.
Install (2) two more siding panels.
1.
Framing lumber may not be the exact length. If necessary cut (1) one treated 2x4-12' and
(1) one untreated 2x4-12' to a length of 12'-0" (or 144"). Position the boards together and
indicate with 'X' marks where the wall studs will be located.

Repeat this step if you do not want windows in the second end wall, otherwise review the
'General Window Instructions' and then follow Step 3 to build a second end wall.
Install siding flush for concrete slab
or 3/4" below plate for wood floor.
The length of pre-cut studs will vary from 92-1/4" to 93" depending the what part of
the county you are located. The length does not matter in assembling the walls.
IMPORTANT: Only build (2) two 12' end wall frames.
