Thank you for purchasing our Clarion shed kit. These instructions will construct a 10'x10'
building. If you received two books, use the one with the latest revision date.
The material that is included in our kit is listed on the back page. The OSB siding, roof
sheathing and the optional floor package, if ordered, will be supplied by a local supplier.
Our component kit does not include the shingles or vinyl siding, giving you a choice of color
and quality. Install vinyl siding according to the manufacturer's instructions. The material
breakdown for this material is listed on the back page.
The barn doors have been pre-built for EZ assembly. Because this kit is prepped for vinyl
siding, there are some 16" wide siding panels and trim boards that will not be used in the
construction of this model.
IMPORTANT: Unpack the material from the pallet, then unscrew the bottom 2x4s from
the pallet. The 2x4s will be used for tie plates when assembling the end walls. The bit for
the screws is packed in the hardware bag.
Stacking the boards, according to size, will make them easier to find when needed. Some
boards have colored ends. All the wall studs have black ends, stack these boards together.
Do Not discard any material until your building is complete.
If you have any questions about assembling the kit, call 800-245-1577. If you are calling
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

2. Cut 2x4-10' floor joists 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 joist headers to floor length. See Below.

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. These measurements will be
the same if the floor is square.
If installing building on a concrete slab, install
sill sealer between concrete and bottom wall plate.

Check local building codes in your area, the construction may have to change. For a concrete slab,
install sill sealer as a moisture barrier between the concrete and the wall plates. Foam sill sealer can
be purchased at home centers in rolls 3-1/2" or wider.
Step 1 Assemble Trusses
79-5/8" Long Top Member
Building Tip: To aid in the assembly of the trusses, temporarily tack 2x4 blocks to the floor.
There are short 2x4s, that may have an angle on one end, supplied in the kit for this purpose.
This will trap the truss parts and insure that all the trusses will be assembled the same.
3" Wide Gauge
Block
DETAIL 'A'
Top Gusset
1. Position a 138" long 2x4 and (2) two 79-5/8" long 2x4s diagonally across the floor. The
shorter 2x4s will rest on a flat spot on the bottom 2x4. See Detail 'A' below.
2. Affix 2x4 blocks around the truss members to hold them in place. Tack a 3" wide gauge block,
in hardware bag, at both ends of the bottom 2x4 to maintain the correct overhang.
3. Secure the tops together with a wood gusset. Apply wood glue between the 2x4 boards and
the gusset. Nail the gusset to the 2x4s with 6d common nails. Use 14 nails per gusset.
4. Install 12"x12" wood gussets to the ends of the trusses, flush with the end of the bottom 2x4.
Glue and nail the gusset. Use 8 nails per gusset.
5. Turn this truss over and apply wood gussets to the opposite side.
6. Assemble (3) three more trusses.
Do Not remove blocks from floor until completing Step 2.
138" Bottom Plate
20-3/4" Gable Studs
Step 2 Assemble Roof Gables
3. Cut a 39" long siding panel from a 4x8 sheet.
4. Cut the remaining piece into (2) two pieces 28" x 48".
5. Install siding on the gable frame. Cut siding flush with the gable frame.
Install with 6d galv. nails, spaced 12" apart.
Mark & Cut Siding Flush with Frame
1. Use the remaining truss parts to assemble the roof gables. Position 2x4s between the blocks.
2. Place (2) two 20-3/4" long gable studs between the top and bottom 2x4s.
6. Locate (4) four 58-1/2" long 1x4 white pine trim boards. Cut these boards into shorter
pieces and install as sub-trim across the top of the gable. Install these boards extending
1/2" above the gable frame to receive the roof sheathing. Use 8d galv. nails. Finish gable
trim boards will be install later over this sub-trim. Tip; you can use 79-5/8" long 1x4
boards as a pattern to cut the angles on the shorter 1x4 boards.
