This manual will show the assembly for the 16' x 10' Meadowbrook building kit. If you
received duplicate books, use the one with the latest revision date.
The material that is included in our kit is listed on the back page. The optional floor package,
siding and roof sheathing will be supplied by a local lumber supplier. Our kit does not include
the shingles, the quantity needed is listed on Step 17.
IMPORTANT: Unpack the material from the pallet, then unscrew the bottom 2x4s from
the pallet runners. The bit for the screws is packed in the hardware bag. Some 1x4 and 2x4
boards will not be used for this model.
The barn doors have been pre-built for EZ assembly. The siding that is installed on each side
and above the door opening are also included.
Stacking the boards, according to size, will make them easier to find when needed. Some
boards have colored ends. All the 72" long 2x4s have black ends, stack these boards together.
Our framing lumber is imported to provide you the highest quality available. However, if
you need to replace any lumber for any reason please do so and we will reimburse you.
The siding is primed. You will need to apply a finish coat using latex acrylic paint.
Paint the
bottom edges of the siding around the perimeter of the building. Keep dirt, grass, mulch,
snow and similar substances away from the lower part of the siding.
If you have any questions about assembling the kit, call 800-245-1577. If you are calling

permit and check all pertinent building code regulations.
Thank you for your purchase.
