• 4- 4x4 feet 5/8" T1-11 exterior siding for the end walls

Measure, mark, and cut your material for the side wall.

Frame the side wall. Layout the bottom and top 2x4 by 8 feet plate, The 2x4 43 inch wall studs will be spaced 24 inches apart. Nail through the plates and into the wall studs.

Install the 4x4 feet 5/8 inch T1-11 exterior siding while the wall frame is still on the floor.

Nail the siding to the wall frame.

The bottom of the siding will hang 2 inches past the bottom plate.

The top of the siding will be flush with the top plate.

Once the siding has been nailed to the wall frame, raise the wall. A temporary 2x4 brace can be used while you nail the wall up.

Nail 12d nails on the inside bottom plate, and into the floor decking.

Build and raise the other side the same way. The next step will be the roof rafters.
