Below are principle assembly steps for the 12ft. x 24ft. Lakewood shed kit. Rough-in openings for windows and doors on first floor are determined by the homeowner during construction. This model was primarily built by a single carpenter over an 8 day period. We recommend 2-3 people be available for constructing in the field. Because of the large size of this shed scaffolding is necessary to work on second floor loft and roofing.
The homeowner needs to determine the floor system that works best for their needs. Our models are built upon pressure treated 4x4s, 2x4s spaced 24" o.c. with 3/4" plywood. It is absolutely important to have a level and square foundation before starting construction of shed kit.
