Step 4: Take a non-perforated divider and locate the

bottom tabs as shown and the corresponding holes on

the floor and the Pillar. See step 5 to see where the

perforated dividers are placed.

Step 5: The perforated dividers go toward what will

be the entrances. (NOTE the tabs in the floor indicate

the entrances of the barn. See arrow.)

Insert the four dividers as shown.

Ensure the tabs are locked into the corresponding

holes.

Step 6: Place the second floor atop the dividers. Be

sure the floors are turned in the same direction. Push

the tabs of the standing dividers into the

corresponding holes. Insert the second Pillar (around

ropes as in step 1) and dividers on the second floor

exactly as first floor.

Special Note: The pole topper and ropes should be

pushed through the center opening.

Step 7: The attic floor (shown in white) fits over the

top of the second Pillar, and allows the corresponding

tabs from the dividers on the second floor to be

pushed in place.

Step 8: The two arched attic dividers (shown in

white) are inserted by pushing the tabs into the corre-

sponding holes in the attic floor.

Step 9: Insert the straight attic dividers (shown in

white), one on each side of the arched attic dividers.

TE: If the Barn appears WARPED at this

point, do not worry. It will straighten during the

following steps.

Step 10: Take one barn side - with the textured side

facing out - and place it on the side of the barn. Line up

the holes on the barn’s wall with the corresponding

holes in the floors of the barn.

WARNING: YOU MUST LINE UP THE HOLES

BEFORE INSERTING THE WHITE SNAPS.

Each snap hole has a corresponding hole on the

OUTSIDE AND INSIDE of the floors. Be sure to line

them up before inserting the snaps. (Shown in next

step). The smaller holes are where the perches will be

inserted.

Engineering Note: After

all the pieces of the

S&K American Barn

are correctly

assembled the Barn

will become V

ery Solid.
