I’m putting one of these buildings up right now. The plans are hard to follow and the parts need better descriptions.

yeah i'm looking at there plans right now and trying to figure out the proper size of the pad?

@@terryrose2771 we went 6 inches bigger on the sides and back. We don’t regret it. Of coarse the front has a approach so we don’t have to worry about that

Making sure you have the correct plans you need on a job is an important step.
Specific to your job you should have
- Engineering Plan - showing construction details and foundation details.
- Construction package - showing component location, the components themselves should be labeled to match
- Component Order - showing components list.
And if you really want to get into the details there are in depth generic documents at the following link to help
(Chose the documents that best suit the shape of your building, as well as Appendix A, B, C, D which are all relevant to your building)
