Siding Information

Siding  panels  have  grooves  cut  into  the
face. To identify which edge we want you
to use, we will refer to the edge as either
the 'LAP' Edge or the Tongue Edge.

Use 8d galv. nails. Space nails 12" apart.

The siding is primed. You will need to apply
a finish coat using latex acrylic paint.

Thank you for purchasing our Danbury shed kit. The floor size should measure 8'-0" wide by
11'-9". Do Not make the foundation larger than the building size. The siding should project
beyond the foundation for water to expel properly from the sidewalls.

The material that is included in our kit is listed on the back page. The optional floor package,
if ordered, will be supplied by a local 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 2x4s was used in the shipping pallet. Unpack the material from the pallets, then unscrew
the (4) four 2x4s. The bit for the screws is packed in the hardware bag. This material will be

used for tie plates installed in Step 7. The OSB sheet will be used for roof sheathing.

Stacking the boards, according to size, will make them easier to find when needed. Some
boards have colored ends. Do Not discard any material until your building is complete.

If you have any questions about assembling the kit, call 800-245-1577. If you are calling after

normal business hours, call 724-866-HELP (4357) or email to help@barnkits.com.

Before you begin construction obtain a building permit and check all pertinent building codes.

Thank you for your purchase.
