A nail gun is not listed on the tool list.  However, because of the amount of nailing required for this
building, it would save assembly time.  The breakdown of nails needed is listed on the back page.
You may be able to receive credit to exchange the nails at your local lumber supplier.

You will need to rent (6) six sections of scaffolding to safely install the roof trusses and sheathing.

Use safety harnesses when reaching over the scaffolding.  Consider hiring a professional roofer to

install the shingles or metal roof.  They have the knowledge and equipment to do the job properly.

Material Delivery:  The building materials will be delivered in (2) two shipments.  The material
for the lower walls and loft floor, and the optional wood floor, will be delivered by a local lumber

supplier.  This enables us to provide long framing lumber not easily delivered by common carrier
trucks.  Check to see if you received the correct amount of material before you start construction.

Call our  office and report any discrepancy.  The material for the 2nd floor will be delivered with

the kit from our factory.  See the back page for the break down of both material deliveries.

Inspect All Windows:  Inspect windows for damage.  To get a replacement window you must report
any damage by calling the number listed above within seven (7) days from date of delivery.  The

six (6) upper windows are shipped in the smaller pallet.

Assembly Questions:  It is very important to assemble our components in the order indicated in

the instructions.  

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 send an email to [email protected].

Multiple Design Options:  There a multiple options for constructing the front and end walls,
depending on window and door layout.  Review each option and decide which is appropriate for
your building before beginning construction.

Window/Door Placement:  Four (4) dormer windows and two (2) gable windows are included in
our kit.  The entry door and lower windows are not included.  The manual 

gives general instructions

on installing windows and door opening in the walls.  You will need to adjust the opening size if

you do not use the same window make and size indicated in the manual.

Metal  Roof  Kit:      A  p

re-cut  metal  roof  kit  is  available  with  limited  color  selection.    Go  to

www.shedkitstore.com for more information and price.

Extra 2x4s were built into the main shipping pallet to be used for wall bracing.  Unpack the material
from the pallets, then unscrew the top 2x4s.  The bit for the screws is packed in the hardware bag.
