MARK OFF THE SIDE BEAMS TO THE DIMENSIONS SHOWN BELOW. THESE ARE THE
POSITIONS FOR LOCATING THE COLUMN TOP BRACKETS, TO WHICH THE COLUMNS AND
CROSS BEAMS WILL BE LATER CONNECTED.
THIS SET OF FOUR
HOLES MUST MATCH
THE FOUR HOLES IN
THE CROSS BEAM.
THE REAR RHS COLUMNS ARE 50mm SHORTER THAN THE FRONT RHS COLUMNS.
THIS PRODUCES ABOUT A ONE DEGREE FALL IN THE ROOF, TO ALLOW RAINWATER
TO FLOW TO THE REAR DOWNPIPE.
THEREFORE, TO ENSURE THAT THE COLUMNS WILL REMAIN VERTICAL WHEN THE
STRUCTURE IS RAISED, EACH COLUMN TOP BRACKET MUST BE OFFSET BY 6mm AS
SHOWN BELOW. YOU CAN SEE BELOW HOW THE END RESULT WILL KEEP THE COLUMNS
VERTICAL BUT TILT THE ROOF.
