Caulking the Roof Seams before
shingling will improve the water
resistance of your Gazebo.
CAUTION: Use 3/4” Roofing Nails
when installing layers of shingles.
Install the recommended Drip Edge around the pe-
rimeter of the Roof Panels before shingling the Roof.
Use 3/4” Roofing Nails to install Drip Edge. Snip the
top of the Drip Edge at corners and bend to meet
next Roof Panel.
Install a starter course of Shingles consisting of a
row of Shingles turned upside down. Attach with 3/4”
Roofing Nails that are supplied with kit. After starter
course is completed, cut excess shingles off along
seam of Roof Panels with Utility Knife as shown in
10-A
. Next, place first course of shingles directly
over starter course in normal position and nail with
3/4” roof nails. Cut excess material off in the same
manner as starter course. Continue up Roof Panel,
overlapping Shingles as you go and cutting off ex-
cess.
To create Ridge Caps, take a shingle and cut it into
six equal pieces as shown in
Fig. 1
. Cut about 1/3 of
Shingle at top on an angle as shown in
Fig. 2
. Install
Ridge Caps
(Fig. 3)
over seams where the excess
Shingle material was cut off, making sure to cover
each of the angled cut ends of the Ridge Cap. Attach
each Ridge Cap with two 1” roof nails supplied with
kit
(Fig. 4)
.
Place Metal Roof Cap on top of shingled Gazebo
and install Finial through hole in cap and screw down
snugly
(Fig. 5)
.
Note: if you have purchased the second tier option,
continue to shingle the complete roof as the metal
roof cap and finial will be needed for the second tier.
