Step 8: 

Assemble the front of your structure. Do not add screws until you have everything adjusted how you would 

like them. First add your K boards by sliding in the T brackets and adding the studs. Then build your door assembly. 
Attach your door assembly using the hinges you purchased. Attach them to the left or right K board depending on if 
you would like a left or right swinging door.  There may be a small gap on either side of the door – this is designed 
so that if you purchase a non-flush hinge – the door will still open and close. If you do not wish to have a gap, you 
can cut your door assembly boards slightly larger for that or adjust the K boards to compensate. Finally measure and 
cut your E boards – these might be a slightly different length if you have adjusted the door assembly or K boards at 
all. Securely fasten everything with screws once you feel everything is adjusted and in place how you would like it. 
Please see the front elevation diagram below.
