The first operation is to connect the two side frames to the end frames to form the outer shape of the
completed structure. Another pair of willing hands would be useful at this stage.
1.
Lift the first side frame into its position by the rear end.
2.
Slot the combined eaves and gutter bar into the small space between the roof and side corner
bar so that the gutter is outside the end frame and the two flanges that form the angle of the roof and
side are inside and tight up against the bolt slots of the roof and side corner bar.
(Key Point).
3. The extra bolts that were inserted in the bolt slots of the corner bars (rear end and door end
assembly) during the gable end assembly can now be used.
4.
Line up the elongated holes in the flanges of the combined eaves and gutter bar with the bolt
slots and slide the bolts into them. Put a nut on the top bolt and tighten up. Place the side bracing
angle onto the bottom bolt, put a nut on and tighten up
. (Key Point).
5.
The built in base attaches to the inside of the corner bar. The bolt placed in the corner bar bolt
slot at gable end assembly will slide down into the slotted hole at the end of the built in base. The
corner bracket attached at side frame assembly can now be attached to the gable end, in a similar
way to its attachment to the side frame.
6.
Do the same at the other three corners.
7.
Insert beading to both beading channels in the ridge bar.
8. Attach the ridge to the roof corner bars by inserting the end of the ridge through the small gap

the two flanges that form the angle of the roof will be inside, tight up against the bolt slots of the
roof corner bars.
9.
Line up the slotted holes at the end of the ridge with the bolt slots, in the corner bars and push
the two bolts, previously inserted during the gable end assembly, into the slots. Put on nut and tight-
