ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 26 – Assemble Roof Panels:
Note: The End Rafters (AK) have two holes. The Mid
Rafter (AL) has one hole.
Clamp End Rafters to Posts:
Place two End Rafters (AK) along the outside of the
Posts on top of the Main Beams as shown. Butt the
square-cut end of the Rafters flush with the edge of
the Posts. Clamp in place.
Fasten Roof Boards:
Start at the angled end of the Roof Rafters. Place one
Roof Board (AM) against the Rafters flush to the an
-
gled end. Center the board on the Rafters; the holes
in the Roof Board should align near the center of the
thickness of the Rafters.
Use a 1/8" diameter drill to
make pilot holes before fastening
the Roof Board
to the Rafter using four #8 x 1-5/8" Screws. Drill and
screw the first hole at an angle to avoid the angled cut
of the rafter.
Continue installing seven more Roof Boards, sliding
them under the previous Roof Board and fastening
the Roof Boards using #8 x 1-5/8" Screws. Leave off
the final two Roof Boards for now.
Final Roof Boards:
Before attaching the final Roof Boards, un-clamp the
assembly and lay it on a flat area. Set the last two
Roof Boards in place. The last Roof Board should
overhang the end of the Rafters. If there is no over-
hang, re-space the last few Roof Boards to achieve
an overhang. If the overhang is so great the screws
will not hit the Rafters, alternative holes should be
made in the final Roof Board. Fasten the Roof Boards
using #8 x 1-5/8" Screws.
Use a 1/8" diameter drill
to make pilot holes before fastening.
Mid Rafter:
Find the center of the Roof Panel Assembly, halfway
between the Rafters. Align the Mid Rafter (AL) to the
center of the Roof Panel and fasten it in place using
1/8" pilot holes and #8 x 1-5/8" Screws as with the
other Rafters.
Create the second Roof Panel in the same way.
