The siding is made in 4x8 sheets with grooves
cut into the face, the long edge is beveled so
that the siding overlays where they butt.
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.
Thank you for your purchase. I want you to be completely satisfied with your building. The
2x4s are imported from Europe because they grade lumber four sides. If you are dissatisfied
with lumber you receive we will replace it.
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).
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. This will be a separate delivery.
Our kit does not include 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.
Some of the framing lumber was used in the shipping pallet. Unpack the material from the
pallets, then unscrew the top 2x4s. The bit for the screws is packed in the hardware bag. The
2x4s will be used for wall bracing and tie plates.
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.
Before building, obtain a building permit and check all pertinent building code regulations.
