Step 2
1Install two posts at the rear corner
of building by removing the two fas-
teners in the framework. Interlock the
two posts and telescope them to the
proper length between the upper and
mid wall frames. Tabs on ends of
posts go behind frames. Reinsert top
and bottom fasteners. Fasten posts
together using a bolt and nut at the
center of posts.
2Install the next two posts at either
26 3/8", 27 3/8" or 28 3/4" dimension
(depending on your building) toward
the front and remove the two fasten-
ers as before. When complete, re-
peat procedure on the opposite side
of building in the same manner.

If you are installing the Attic Kit in a Horizontal Siding building, drilling of the siding with a 1/4" diameter drill
will be necessary if building is already assembled. If there are no holes in the framework, drilling will be
required. Start your first hole approximately 9" from the corner of building and your next hole at 26 3/8" toward
the front of building.
In all cases use bolts and nuts at the upper frames as shown. Position tab on end of post on the inside of the
upper frame. Depending on the style of your building, fasten bottom of posts as shown.
When mid wall frames are offset from siding, reverse the bottom post so that the tab is on the inside, opposite
the upper tab. Fasten tab to mid wall frame using a bolt and nut.
