BEFORE YOU BEGIN.... A2 Owner's Manual Before beginning construction, check local building codes regarding footings, location and other requirements. Study and understand this owner's manual. Important information and helpful tips will make your construction easier and more enjoyable. Instructions are supplied in this manual and contain all appropriate information for your building model.
PLAN AHEAD.... A3 Watch the Weather: Be sure the day you select to install your building is dry and calm. Do not attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or muddy ground. Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to assemble your building. One person can position parts or panels while the other is able to handle the fasteners and the tools. Teamwork: These are some basic tools and materials you will need for the construction of your building.
SAFETY FIRST.... A4 Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your building. •Care must be taken when handling various pieces of your building since some contain sharp edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or performing any maintenance on your building. •Practice caution with the tools being used in the assembly of this building. Be familiar with the operation of all power tools.

● Parts Needed For ● Step 11 ● 8576 Right Gable (2) ● 8577 Left Gable (2) ● 6635 Roof Beam Bracket (4) Gable Assemblies SR24 The gables go on top of the front and rear walls to support the roof beams. NOTE The gables are packed nested together and might be mistaken as one piece. Carefully separate them before continuing. 1 Attach the four roof beam brackets to the gables using two bolts, washers and nuts. NOTE Mounting leg of bracket must face toward center of gable.
● Left Gable Assemblies (2) ● Right Gable Assemblies (2) ● 9009 Gable Brace (2) ● Parts Needed For ● Step 12 Gables/Braces SR25 1 Lift and fasten a right and left gable, under angle at corner, to the door track with screws. Hint: On the rear gable, use a bolt and nut at the overlapping rear wall angle. On the front gable, leave out 2 screws closest to center gable leg. 2 Join the left and right gables together with a gable brace using a bolt in the second hole from the bottom only.
● Parts Needed For ● Step 13 Roof Beam//Braces ● Roof Beam Assemblies (3) ● 9204 Roof Beam Brace (2) SR26 1 Wrap the weather stripping tape around the two joined edges of the left and right gables. See diagram. Cut the weather stripping to length. STEP 2 2 Spread the two halves of the main Spread Two Halves Of Roof Beams roof beam and fasten the roof beam to the gable brace of the front gable.
● Parts Needed For ● Step 14 ● 9086 Right Roof Panel (1) Right Roof Panel SR27 Installing the roof panels is best done with a step ladder. Install the first roof panel at the back right corner of the building. Each screw and bolt in the roof requires a washer. NOTE Measure the building diagonally again and make adjustments to make sure the building is square and level. This will make the roof panels fit better, and holes will align. Don't anchor the floor frame.
Step 15 ● Parts Needed For ● ● 9087 Left Roof Panel (1) ● 7743 Roof Panel (2) ● 6869 Ridge Cap (1) Ridge Cap & Panels SR28 1 Install a left roof panel 9087 at the Screws To Roof Beam left rear corner of the roof. 2 Cover the joint at the peak with weather stripping tape.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST SO34 SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST Rusting is a natural oxidizing process that occurs when bare metal is exposed to moisture. Problem areas include screw holes, unfinished edges, or where scrapes and nicks occur in the protective coating through normal assembly, handling and use. Identifying these natural rusting problem areas and taking some simple rust protection precautions can help to stop rust from developing, or stop it quickly as soon as it appears. 1.
