Front Assembly

 

Fix the opposite gable bar and cill in the same way.  

Before you install the roof corner bars you need to fix the 

door header in place.   

 

Slot the door header into the  

mortise holes and fix with a 50mm screw  

through each end (diagram 10).  

 

Make sure the gable bars are well  

supported while doing this.
