age building. Reynolds Building Systems, Inc. has designed our shed kits to give years of use pro-

vided the kit is properly assembled and regular maintenance is given. This manual outlines important

tips to help build and maintain your new shed kit.

Information About Your Shed Kit” provides valuable information about

the entire assembly process. If you have any questions during

construction please contact customer service at (800) 245-1577 or

Foundation Requirements

Your new shed kit must be placed on a foundation that matches the

correct size of the shed kit. See “Construction Details for Deluxe Floor

System” in assembly manual. If placing on a concrete slab a sill sealer

must be placed between bottom wall plate and the surface of the

concrete as a moisture barrier.

Safety

Always wear safety glasses when cutting or nailing. Assembled walls

and gable ends are heavy. It is recommended that you have additional

help when erecting these components.

Venting

Best Barns shed kits are designed to allow for ridge venting (purchased

locally) to be installed. Venting allows for excess heat and moisture to

escape.
