GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
•Identify and inspect all parts using the Parts List and Parts Diagram.
•Read the directions completely before beginning the project.
•If possible, it is most ideal to have a dedicated work area so that you are
not unpacking, repacking, and moving the project from place to place.
•Choose a work surface that is level, flat, clean, dry, and protected
from spills.
•Do a dry fit, using masking tape to hold parts in place, to make sure
everything fits together correctly before permanent assembly.
Tip: Plan the finishes for the interior and exterior at the dry-fit stage,
before final/permanent assembly. It is easier to finish the panels as flat
surfaces. Disassemble and finish as desired, then reassemble using glue.

Foundation Access
Panel / A04 at the ends.
This orientation differs
from the porch extension.

using magnets, hinges (included), or velcro. Note that if you glued in place

Panel Front / A40 on your work surface. Align the pre-drilled holes for the
hinge screws that are on the Access Panel Side / A41 and the Access Panel

To adjust the location of a hole(s) or hinge(s), lay the hinge where you

place. Drill new holes with a small drill bit while using the hinge as a guide.
Hammering in a nail and pulling it out to create a starter hole works too.
