The roof beams join the two gables
and support the roof panels. The main
roof beam is made up of four pieces
overlapped, back to back at the cen-
ter. The left and right roof beam as-
semblies are made up of two pieces.
Hint: These pieces are force-fitted,
so you may have to press hard to join
them together.
1
The figure shows how to identify a
left and a right roof beam. As you
will note, the difference is only which
end of each beam has the six holes
for joining the beams at the center.
2
Place the end of a right roof beam
inside a left roof beam so that the six
holes in each piece align. Make four
sets of roof beams by repeating this
procedure.
Do not insert bolts yet.
3
Take two of the pressed-together
roof beams and join them as shown
to form the main roof beam assembly.
Hold the assembly together and fas-
ten with 14 bolts and nuts.
4
Fasten the other two pressed-
together roof beams with 8 bolts to
make the left and right roof beam
assemblies.
5
Set these pieces aside for later
assembly.
