The arches of your U.S. Building are the major components, acting as both the sidewalls and the roof. Properly constructed your building will be watertight. Optional caulking is available for special projects. Complete erection instructions are supplied in your U.S. Buildings Erection Manual. With larger buildings a few sections of scaffolding will make the raising of arches much easier. Homemade staging may be employed if no scaffolding is available in the area. Most people find they can raise arches with the help of their friends or family.
