Prior to beginning construction, the area selected for the shed location must be leveled and cleared of obstructions.

Separate all lumber, hardware, etc. into individual stacks of like items.

Unfold each frame, setting aside two frames to be used as end walls. From 1"x4" Pine boards, cut Gusset plates 6" long

• 24 pieces for a 12' building
• 32 pieces for a 16' building
• 40 pieces for a 20' building

Apply gusset plates on each side of the top and bottom fold locations. Frames to be used as end walls require only one gusset plate top and bottom on the side opposite of the metal plate, and to the inside of the building. Use four 8d nails on each plate. See Figure 1.

Using one frame selected as an endwall, measure and mark stud locations according to dimensions shown in Figure 2. Place the proper length 2x4 studs at those locations. Mark required length and angles and cut to fit. Toe nail studs into place using (2) 8d nails top and bottom. See Figure 2. Cut 2x4 nailers and install at dimensions shown in Figure 2.

Using the remaining endwall frame, repeat Step 4, using Figure 3 as a guide.
NOTE: When using a roll-up door, the door opening must be framed to the exact size of the door. Example: 8x7 Roll-up door will have a finished opening of 96"x 84".

Cut (2) 4'x8' sheets of siding into (4) 48"x48" pieces. Use 3 full 4'x8' sheets and 3 of the 48"x 48" pieces. Cut each piece as required. Nail siding pieces onto back wall frame with 8d nails every 8" on center. See Figure 4.

Cut a 4'x8' sheet of siding into 2 pieces 48"x48". Cut another 4'x8' sheet into 2 pieces 24"x96". Cut each piece as required. Nail siding pieces onto front wall frame with 8d nails every 8" on center. See Figure 5.
NOTE: (for steps 6 & 7) In order to keep moisture from wicking into the siding, keep the bottom of the siding 1" above the bottom of the treated bottom frame member.

From treated 2x4's, cut two rim joists:

• 143" for a 12' building
• 191" for a 16' building
• 239" for a 20' building

Place the cut rim joists 12' apart in the area selected for the barn location. Stand the front and back walls up at the proper ends of the rim joists. Nail rim joists to the end wall frames using 10d nails. Temporarily brace each end. Stand the remaining frames up:

• 7 for a 12' building
• 9 for a 16' building
• 11 for a 20' building

Nail to rim joists as shown in Figure 6. Install a temporary brace across low roof member. See Figure 6.

At base of building, measure across diagonally. Adjust the building until AC=BD. The building is then square.

From treated 2x4's, cut (4) 21-1/4" floor supports and the required amount of 22- 1/2" floor supports

• 8 for a 12' building
• 12 for a 16' building
• 16 for a 20' building

Install using 10d nails, at dimensions shown in Figure 8.

• 12' Building: From two 4'x8' sheets of floor sheathing, cut 3 pieces 48"x47-1/2". Cut (3) 4'x8' sheets to 95-1/2" long.
• 16' Building: Cut (6) 4'x8' sheets of floor sheathing to 95-1/2" long.
• 20' Building: From (2) 4'x8' sheets of floor sheathing, cut 3 pieces 48"x47-1/2". Cut (3) 4'x8' sheets to 95-1/2" long. In addition to the cut pieces mentioned above, you will need 3 full uncut 4'x8' sheets.

NOTE: Each piece must be notched on sides to fit around wall frame members as required. Stagger end joints front to back. Nail in place with 8d nails every 8" on center.

• 12' Building: Cut (6) 4'x8' sheets of siding to 71" long.
• 16' Building: Cut (8) 4'x8' sheets of siding to 71" long.
• 20' Building: Cut (10) 4'x8' sheets of siding to 71" long.

Make certain endwalls and frames are plumb (vertically level.) Then apply siding using 6d nails.

Nail 1"x6" to exposed ends of roof overhang using 8d nails. Top edge of fascia board should be 1/2" above the top of the roof frame member. This will cover the exposed edge of the roof sheathing.

• 12' Building Eave Fascia: Use (2) 1"x6"x12' trim boards.
• 16' Building Eave Fascia: Use (2) 1"x6"x16' trim boards.
• 20' Building Eave Fascia: Use (4) 1"x6"x10' trim boards.

From 1"x6" pine boards, measure and cut remaining trim to fit Gable Fascia. Attach to building.
NOTE: Tack gable end trim into place and check fit. Make any required adjustments in the cuts prior to nailing in place.

Nail roof sheathing in place using 6d nails every 8" on center. Stagger sheathing end joints from frame to frame whenever possible.

• 12' Building Overhang: from a 4'x8' sheet of roof sheathing, cut (2) 8"x96" and (2) 8"x48" pieces, leaving a piece 24"x96". 72" Low Roof: Using the 24"x96" piece, cut (2) 24"x48". From a 4'x8' sheet, cut (2) 48"x48". Cut another 4'x8' sheet into (2) 24"x96". You'll also need 2 full uncut 4'x8' sheets. 45-1/2" High Roof: Cut (3) 4'x 8' sheets to 45-1/2" wide. From one of those cut (2) 45-1/2"x48".
• 16' Building Overhang: from a 4'x8' sheet of roof sheathing, cut (4) pieces 8"x96". 72" Low Roof: From (2) 4'x8' sheets cut (4) 24"x96". You'll also need 2 full uncut 4'x8' sheets. 45-1/2" High Roof: Cut (4) 4'x8' sheets to 45-1/2"x96".
• 20' Building Overhang: from a 4'x8' sheet of roof sheathing, cut (4) 8"x96" and (2) 8"x48". 72" Low Roof: From (2) 4'x8' sheets cut (4) 24"x96"; from another, cut (2) 24"x48"; from another, cut (2) 48"x48". You'll also need 4 full uncut 4'x8' sheets. 45-1/2" High Roof: Cut (5) 4'x8' sheets to 45-1/2"x96". From one of those, cut (2) 45-1/2"x48".

Cut (2) 4'x8' sheets of siding to 48"x94". Cut 2"x frame members as shown in Figure 10. Attach to door siding and attach hasp and hinges. Cut and attach 1"x door trim and crossbucks as shown in Figure 11.

From 1"x4" trim boards, measure and cut 8 corner trim pieces. Place (2) 94"-1"x6" on each outer side of door opening. Mark and cut (1) 1"x6"x12' running across the top of the door opening and extending out to meet the lower roof trim. Nail to building and hang doors.

Apply roof felt. Apply shingles using 3/4" roofing nails. Follow instructions found on the bundles.
