INSTRUCTIONS 1. Separate and stack all parts included in kit. STUD BRACKETS (12 pieces), “A” ANGLE BRACKETS (24 pieces) and “B” ANGLE BRACKETS (16 pieces) . Please refer to “A” or “B” stamped into each ANGLE BRACKET. Cut and mark all lumber to identify as stated in CUT LIST that corresponds to your structure size. Stack all lumber in separate areas. 2. In accordance with your size structure, nail BASE PLATE boards together overlapping ends to form structure base frame. (Picture #1) Use the pressure treated lumber for the bottom of the base frame to prevent rotting. Make sure base frame is square by measuring from corner to corner diagonally. 3. Using screws, attach STUD BRACKETS to outside of top base frame boards (Picture #2) using measurements listed on SIDE VIEW drawing of plans in accordance with your size structure. Measurements are to center of STUD BRACKETS. 4. 3(A-D).

Slide left and right STUDS into end of each ANGLE BRACKET “B” and secure using screws through ROUND holes. Carefully turn arch assembly over and secure ANGLE BRACKET “B” to STUDS using screws through SQUARE holes. Repeat this step on all arch assemblies. 8. Nail COLLAR TIE to LOWER RAFTER board of each arch assembly, making sure that the top corner of the COLLAR TIE is flush with the outside edge of LOWER RAFTER board. Be sure to attach the COLLAR TIES facing inside on the two end arches. 9. After all arch assemblies are complete, using two people carefully lift each arch onto the assembled base frame and secure to STUD BRACKETS using screws. Arches should be perpendicular to base frame (use a square). To hold the arches in a perpendicular position, use 1” x 4” temporary bracing inside of structure and leave in position until sheathing is in place, as shown in SIDE VIEW drawing. Leave nail heads slightly raised so they can be easily pulled out. The end arch assemblies should set flush with the base frame corners. Bend STUD BRACKETS around each corner of base frame and secure using screws. 10. After arch assemblies are set into place, remove scrap boards from “B” ANGLE BRACKET slots on one side of structure and place RIDGE BOARD into slots in “B” brackets. You may need to tap boards into place using a hammer. Repeat on opposite side of structure. Move up to lower ANGLE BRACKET “A” remove scrap boards and place RIDGE BOARD into slots in lower “A” brackets. Repeat on opposite side of structure. Remove scrap boards from top ANGLE BRACKET “A” and place RIDGE BOARD into slots in top “A” angle brackets. Make sure all arch assemblies are in correct positioning and adjust if needed. Secure all RIDGE BOARDS using screws through bottom holes in ANGLE BRACKETS. (For 10’ x 22’ structures, see #4 of Helpful Hints) 11. Install DOOR JAMBS as shown in FRONT VIEW drawings in accordance with your building size. Nail top of DOOR JAMBS to COLLAR TIE of end arch assembly. Screw STUD BRACKETS to bottom of each DOOR JAMB. Attaching to outside of top BASE PLATE. 12. Install two VERTICAL STUDS in back wall. (Same layout as Step 11) Nail top of VERTICAL STUDS to COLLAR TIE of end arch assembly. Screw STUD BRACKETS to bottom of each VERTICAL STUD. Attaching to outside of top BASE PLATE. 13. Your frame is now complete and ready to sheathe with materials of your choice. (See Helpful Hints) CUT LIST (10'X22' Building) HELPFUL HINTS (ALL SIZES) 24 - 2X4 Studs cut to 6' 4" (Cut from 24 - 8') 1. Install wall sheathing horizontally on sides of 7’X8’ building.

Move to back end of structure and place 16’ ridge board into slots in remaining lower “A” angle brackets. Repeat on opposite side. At front end of structure, move up to top “A” angle bracket and place the 16’ ridge board into slots of 5 - 2X4 Ridge boards 16' long (Use 5 - 16') top “A” angle brackets. Move to back end of structure and place the 6’ ridge board into slots in remaining top “A” angle bracket. Make sure all arch assemblies are in correct 5 - 2X4 Ridge boards 6' long (Cut from 2 - 12' and 1 - 8') positioning and adjust if needed.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Separate and stack all parts included in kit. STUD BRACKETS (12 pieces), “A” ANGLE BRACKETS (24 pieces) and “B” ANGLE BRACKETS (16 pieces) . Please refer to “A” or “B” stamped into each ANGLE BRACKET. Cut and mark all lumber to identify as stated in CUT LIST that corresponds to your structure size. Stack all lumber in separate areas. 2. In accordance with your size structure, nail BASE PLATE boards together overlapping ends to form structure base frame. (Picture #1) Use the pressure treated lumber for the bottom of the base frame to prevent rotting. Make sure base frame is square by measuring from corner to corner diagonally. 3. Using screws, attach STUD BRACKETS to outside of top base frame boards (Picture #2) using measurements listed on SIDE VIEW drawing of plans in accordance with your size structure. Measurements are to center of STUD BRACKETS. 4. 3(A-D).

Slide left and right STUDS into end of each ANGLE BRACKET “B” and secure using screws through ROUND holes. Carefully turn arch assembly over and secure ANGLE BRACKET “B” to STUDS using screws through SQUARE holes. Repeat this step on all arch assemblies. 8. Nail COLLAR TIE to LOWER RAFTER board of each arch assembly, making sure that the top corner of the COLLAR TIE is flush with the outside edge of LOWER RAFTER board. Be sure to attach the COLLAR TIES facing inside on the two end arches. 9. After all arch assemblies are complete, using two people carefully lift each arch onto the assembled base frame and secure to STUD BRACKETS using screws. Arches should be perpendicular to base frame (use a square). To hold the arches in a perpendicular position, use 1” x 4” temporary bracing inside of structure and leave in position until sheathing is in place, as shown in SIDE VIEW drawing. Leave nail heads slightly raised so they can be easily pulled out. The end arch assemblies should set flush with the base frame corners. Bend STUD BRACKETS around each corner of base frame and secure using screws. 10. After arch assemblies are set into place, remove scrap boards from “B” ANGLE BRACKET slots on one side of structure and place RIDGE BOARD into slots in “B” brackets. You may need to tap boards into place using a hammer. Repeat on opposite side of structure. Move up to lower ANGLE BRACKET “A” remove scrap boards and place RIDGE BOARD into slots in lower “A” brackets. Repeat on opposite side of structure. Remove scrap boards from top ANGLE BRACKET “A” and place RIDGE BOARD into slots in top “A” angle brackets. Make sure all arch assemblies are in correct positioning and adjust if needed. Secure all RIDGE BOARDS using screws through bottom holes in ANGLE BRACKETS. (For 10’ x 22’ structures, see #4 of Helpful Hints) 11. Install DOOR JAMBS as shown in FRONT VIEW drawings in accordance with your building size. Nail top of DOOR JAMBS to COLLAR TIE of end arch assembly. Screw STUD BRACKETS to bottom of each DOOR JAMB. Attaching to outside of top BASE PLATE. 12. Install two VERTICAL STUDS in back wall. (Same layout as Step 11) Nail top of VERTICAL STUDS to COLLAR TIE of end arch assembly. Screw STUD BRACKETS to bottom of each VERTICAL STUD. Attaching to outside of top BASE PLATE. CUT LIST (10'X22' Building) 13.
