General

Assembly Steps

Once you receive your new building begin by unpacking the pre-cut framing, doors and hardware. You will also receive a detailed manual with step by step instructions. Each step is explained with clear instructions and detailed line art and has been developed with the novice builder in mind.
Following the manual you will be directed to cut the siding material for application to the wall frames. This step is made extraordinarily easy because the pre-cut walls are used as a template, once assembled, prior to cutting. Simply trace the outline of the wall and cut. Cutting the siding
Maple Truss Truss components come pre-cut with pre-cut gussets to ensure proper alignment during the assembly proccess. Roof trusses are designed to meet heavy snow loads of 45 lbs. psf and 90 mph wind loads.
Set trusses Once wall and gable assembly is complete you are ready to begin assembly and placement of trusses. Apply sheathing and shingles. Roof sheathing is 7/16" OSB ( Oriented Strand Board ). Get a friend to help and you'll be done in no time!

Our pre-built door trim insures that you will finish with a professional look when your barn raising is complete.
