ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 16 — Assemble Roof Panels:
Assembly of the Roof Panels will be easier on a work table
or other flat surface.
Lay Out Roof Rafters:
Butt the square-cut end of two Rafters (AB) against a straight
flat surface. Align the Rafters so they are parallel and the
ends aligned and square. The distance from outside to out-
side of the Rafters should be 28-1/2". Measure from corner
to corner both ways. When the two diagonal measurements
are the same, the rafters are square.
Fasten Roof Boards:
Start at the angled end of the Roof Rafters. Rest one Roof
Board (AA) on top of the Rafters flush to the angled end. Use
a 1/8" diameter drill to make pilot holes before fastening the
Roof Board to the Rafter using four #10 x 1-5/8" Screws. Drill
and screw the first hole at an angle, as shown, to avoid the
angled cut of the rafter.
Continue with the next three Roof Boards, setting each
against the previous Roof Board and fastening them. Once
the position of the Rafters is stable, lay the rest of the Roof
Boards in place. The seventh Roof Board should overhang
the end of the Rafters by approximately 1/2". If the overhang
is less than 1/2", evenly space the Roof Boards to achieve
an overhang. If the overhang is greater, alternative holes
should be made in the final Roof Board. Fasten the Roof
Boards using #10 x 1-5/8" Screws with 1/8" diameter pilot
holes.
Assemble Second Roof Panel:
Flip the first Roof Panel to use it as a template to assemble
the remaining Roof Panel. Place the remaining Rafters tight
against the Rafters on the assembled panel. Align the ends.
Fasten Roof Boards to the Roof Rafters using 1/8" diameter
pilot holes and #10 x 1-5/8" Screws as with the first Roof
Panel.
