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 center. The left and right roof
beam assemblies are made up of
two pieces.
Hint: These pieces are force-fitted,
so you may have to press hard to join
them together.
1
Place the end of one roof beam
inside a second 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.
2
Take two of the pressed-together
roof beams and join them as shown
to form the main roof beam assem-
bly. Hold the assembly together and
fasten with 14 bolts. Build only one
Doubled Beam Assembly.
3
Fasten the other two pressed-
together roof beams with eight bolts
to make the left and right roof beam
assemblies.
4
Double check the length of each
and set these pieces aside for later
use.
