Step 5
Assemble Another 140-1/2" Long Back Wall
1. Cut (1) one treated 2x4-12' and (1) one untreated 2x4-12' to a length of 140-1/2". Position
the boards together and indicate with 'X' marks, where the wall studs will be located.

2. Install pre-cut wall studs between the top and bottom plates using 16d galvanized nails for the
treated bottom plate and 16d coated sinker nails for the top plate. Mark this panel as 'BR'.
3. Butt the above wall frame against the 'BL' wall panel from Step 4. Do Not nail the frames
together so that they can be separated later.
4. Square the wall frame and install a siding panel. Do Not nail the long edge that overlaps the
siding on the adjoining panel so they can be separated. Install (2) two more siding panels; the
last panel will extend 3-1/2" past the wall frame. Separate wall panels.
