IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SHED KIT

To identify which edge we want you to use,

we will refer to the edge as either the 'LAP'

Edge or the Tongue Edge.

Download the most current instruction book at www.barnkits.com; use the "manuals"

link on the menu bar and then select your building kit and size.

Thank you for purchasing our shed kit. 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 email to [email protected].

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.

Our kit does not include the 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. Unscrew the OSB panels and the 2x4s from the shipping pallet. The 2x4s will be

used for wall bracing and to support the loft beams. The bit for the screws is packed in the

hardware bag.

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.

Stacking the boards, according to size, will make them easier to find when needed. Do Not

discard any material until your building is complete.

Before you begin construction, be sure to study this assembly manual. Also, obtain a building

permit and check all pertinent building code regulations for your area.

Thank you for your purchase. Bill & Linda Rinella, owners
