The siding is made in 4x8 sheets with grooves
cut into the face, the long edge is beveled so
that the siding overlays where they butt.
To identify which edge we want you to use, we
will refer to the edge as either the 'LAP' Edge
or the Tongue Edge. Nail siding with 8d galv.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SHED KIT
This manual will show the assembly for the 10' x 16' Woodville building kit. If you received
duplicate books, use the one with the latest revision date.
The foundation size should measure 10'-0" wide by 15'-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 lumber supplier. Our kit does not include the shingles,
the quantity needed is listed on Step 14.
Unpack the material from the pallet and unscrew the top 2x4s. They will be used for wall
plates in Step 7 and wall bracing. The bit for the screws is packed in the hardware bag.
Our 'Deluxe Woodville' includes pre-built barn doors, pre-cut siding and roof sheathing for
EZ assembly.
Stacking the boards, according to size, will make them easier to find when needed. Some
boards have colored ends. All the 72" long 2x4s have black ends, stack these boards together.
The siding is primed. You will need to apply a finish coat using latex acrylic paint. Paint the
bottom edges of the siding around the perimeter of the building. Keep dirt, grass, mulch,
snow and similar substances away from the lower part of the siding.
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 [email protected].
Before you begin construction, be sure to study this assembly manual.Also, obtain a building
permit and check all pertinent building code regulations.
Thank you for your purchase. Bill & Linda Rinella, owners

Constructing Details for Deluxe Floor System
Deluxe floors include 4x4 runners, standard floors do not
It is important that the floor be
level and square. Before nailing
the flooring, measure the floor
diagonally (corner to corner).
Then measure the opposite
corners. Thesemeasurementswill
be the same if the floor is square.
2. Cut 2x4-10' floor joist to 9'-9". Treated lumber may be thicker than 1-1/2". Take this into
account when cutting the length of floor joists. Shorten joist measurements if necessary to
obtain 10'-0" building width.
1. Cut 2x4-16' joist headers to 15' - 9".
Layout for 16" on center joist spacing. 'X' marks where floor joist will be placed.

and place the 'X' mark on the same side of the line so your trusses
are parallel when they are installed.

Install This Row First
Install roof sheathing on the steep side of the roof. Use a straight edge to align the top of the
sheathing with the top of the truss. See Detail 'B'. Make sure the trusses are plumb and the roof
sheathing meets the center of the truss. Use 7d sinkers spaced 12" apart.
The top roof sheathing will not extend to the ridge. This will allow an opening for air ventilation
when you install a ridge vent.

2. Install the 42-1/4" 2x3s on the side roof sheathing in the same manner.

Step 18 Install Doors & Hardware
4. Before you fasten the hinges to the door
trim, temporarily prop the doors in the
opening. Leave a space at the top of the
doors and between the doors and the
side trim to allow room for the doors to
expand when they absorb moisture.
If your door opening is out of square,
the space around the doors will not be
even. You can remove and reposition
the side trim to make allowances for
this. The side trim does not have to be
flush with the frame of the door opening.
You can move the trim in or out to make
the door spacing equal.
5. Install hinges to trim with 2" screws.
OSB Shim
1. Lay the left door with the trim facing up. The
siding on the left door extends past the door trim.
See detail below.
2. Install 5" hinges to the left side of the door frame.
To position the hinge properly, hold the rectangular
plate against the frame. Use 1-3/4" black screws.
3. Install hinges to the right side of the other door.
6. Install a barrel bolt on the lower back of
the door to secure this door in place when
closed. You will need to drill a hole for
the round shaft to drop into.
7. Install another barrel bolt at the top of the
door.
