Its best to fit all the soffits to the sides 
leaving the last one in the least visible 
place possible in case you have to trim 
the soffit or there is a slightly larger 
gap than normal.  

Diagram 40 

AB0082 

Dia. 32 

With all the roof bars fixed in 
place you can attach the ply 
roof sheets.  Use 1

1/2 

inch 

countersunk screws to fix this.  
You should have 4 down each 
side with one in the middle at 
the bottom.  Use the grove in 
the roof bars to help you line up 
the roof sheets (diagram 41).
