STEP 2
Align the carpet roll to the edges of
the blind floor and begin fastening
with the T50 Construction Stapler.
Work from one end of the floor to the
other, working out the wrinkles and
continually aligning the edges while
going along. If some carpet overhangs
past the edge of the floor, use a utility
knife to cut the carpet back so it is no
longer overhanging.
INSTALL THE CARPET
STEP 1
Install 8” – 12” 4x4s into the pockets on
the floor and secure with 3 – 3” deck
screws per foot. If you purchased a
tower stand you may skip this step.
INSTALL THE LEGS

STEP 4
Run a 3/8” bead of caulk along the
leading edge where the second panel
will meet the first. Make sure to caulk
on the siding between the interior
framing and the outside of the blind.
Remember, the better the seal the lon-
ger the blind will last!
CAULK PANEL EDGE
STEP 3
Set the first panel into place. Have one
person hold the top of the panel while
another person aligns the bottom.
Make sure the corners of the panel
match with the corner of the floor and
that the panel doesn’t gap away from
the floor. Use two screws to secure the
panel to the floor from the inside.
INSTALL THE FIRST PANEL

STEP 6
INSTALL THIRD PANEL
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining
wall panel.
Do not install door panel yet.
STEP 5
Start at the top of the panel, align the
tops and outsides of the panels to
make sure they are even. Then work
down the panel keeping everything
together and running several screws
while going down. Be sure to use the 2
1⁄2” screws that are in the touch up kit,
NOT the 3” screws that are removed
from the crating!
INSTALL SECOND PANEL

STEP 8
With the roof in place, it’s finally time
to install the door. Get the door close
to the blind, have one person hold the
panel while another person applies
caulk to wall panels. Then set the door
panel in place and fasten like the other
wall panels. Screws that go into the
floor may have to be removed to move
walls into place and get a tighter seal.
INSTALL THE DOOR PANEL
STEP 7
Lift the roof to the top of the blind and
rest it on the walls. Balance it on the
rear walls far enough to have room to
install the final wall panel and door
panel.
HOIST THE ROOF

STEP 9
Fasten the roof to the top of the wall
panels. Center the roof on the blind,
aligning the roof with the wall panel
joints. Start above the door and screw
through the top of the wall panel into
the roof panel with SHORT screws,
aligning as you work toward the back
of the blind. Run plenty of screws to
ensure the roof can’t come off.
FASTEN THE ROOF
STEP 10
If there are wrinkles in the carpet, use
a flat bar or prybar to lift the wall pan-
els and push wrinkles back out. Then
fasten the wall panels to the floor with
several screws.
FASTEN THE WALLS

STEP 11
Use the touch up paint to touch up
any nicks or scratches that can occur
during setup. Any unpainted siding
will rot faster than painted siding so be
particular when painting.
