Step 6A Assemble 10' Side Walls
1. Position (2) two 2x4-48" boards and (2) two 2x4-72" boards together and indicate with 'X'
marks where the wall studs will be located. Mark the ends that will butt together with the letters
'A' and 'B'. Mark right side end with a 'C'. This will be referenced in a latter step.

2. Install (7) seven 80-1/4" long wall studs between the wall plates. Use (2) two 10d sinkers
at each end of stud. Nail the frames together with (4) four 10d sinkers on each side.
3. Repeat to assemble (3) three more 10' long side wall frames. You will need to cut (2) two
64" long 2x4s to a length of 48" to assemble the last 48" wall frame.
4. Square wall frame. Measure diagonally (corner to corner); the measurements will be the same
when the wall is square.
5. Cut one of the 48" wide siding panels in half lengthways. Select the half, with the 'tongue'
edge, and install this panel with the 'cut' edge flush with the end of the wall and extending 3/4"
below the bottom plate. Use 6d galvanized nails spaced 8" apart. LAP edge panel will be used
in next step.
6. Install (2) two more siding panels.
Cut the siding flush with the
bottom plate if installing the
building on a concrete slab.
