## Before you start

- Unverified concept materials. Not construction-ready. Obtain independent qualified design and review before building.
- Use the loft for light storage and occasional access only, not living space. Have a qualified professional confirm the two-ply 2x8 beam for this shed width, lumber species and grade, and check its fasteners, hangers, bearing, ledger, floor supports and foundation before building.
- The truss plates, door hardware and roof metal show placement only. Choose the actual products before construction. Use an engineered truss connection design and follow the selected products' fastening and weatherproofing instructions.
- Tongue-and-groove flooring and T1-11 siding vary by manufacturer. Check the usable panel size, tongue and groove orientation, structural rating and installation instructions before cutting.
- Use the plans, drawings and cut lists for your chosen shed size together.
- Use nominal stock names for purchasing and actual dressed dimensions for layout.
- Check delivered stock lengths before cutting; full-length pieces have no end-trimming reserve.
- Follow the selected product instructions for panel gaps, factory profiles, fasteners, flashing and roof laps.
- Plan wall and roof lifts, temporary bracing, work platforms and fall protection before assembly.

## Instructions

### 1. Confirm the construction details

- Use the 8x8 plans and cut lists together. Mark the 96 by 96-inch footprint and the 64 by 72-inch door opening on the project drawings.
- Obtain the site foundation, anchorage, bracing and framing connection details before ordering affected materials.
- Resolve loft beam and ledger connections, roof-joint connectors and roof-spread restraint. Keep the loft for light storage with occasional access only after its permitted load and access details are established.
- Select the actual T&G floor, T1-11 siding, roofing and door hardware; use their product instructions for gaps, laps, clearances and fastening.

Check: The required site details, product instructions and fastening schedules are available.

- Compare the two diagonals and adjust until they match.
- Mark runner centerlines at X = 5 1/4, 48, 90 3/4 inches. Use the foundation drawing for support pads and any supported joints.

Check: All pieces are marked with their matching cut-list IDs and reference edges.

### 3. Prepare the foundation

- Prepare drainage and bearing pads using the approved site detail. Remove unsuitable bearing material as that detail requires.
- Level the support points along and across every runner line. Install the specified anchors while they are accessible.
- Place a support under every runner end or splice shown in the drawing. Keep the required wood-to-ground clearance.

Check: All runner bearing points are level, stable and located for the actual joints.

- Keep each scheduled full-length piece continuous. Where the drawing divides a runner, center its joint over the specified foundation support.
- Complete the foundation anchorage detail and recheck level.

Check: Each runner is continuously supported at the specified bearing points and anchored.

## Using the CAD files

- Open the native FreeCAD file to inspect labeled individual solids and stock properties. STEP contains the same installed geometry for other CAD applications.
- CAD dimensions are millimeters; schedules and drawings explicitly use inches. Use the labeled cut-profile coordinates, not printed image scale.
- Match this variant and revision across every file. Keep all files for this shed size together.
