1. Screw the roof rails and gables together (using the

square drive bit and square drive screws) as shown.

• The Flow logos face toward the outside.
• Match the slope of the rails with the slope of the

gable. The angle should align at both ends.

• The roof rail end that aligns with the rear gable

(shorter gable) has a second cut out to allow space

for the key access cover once assembled.

2. Check the roof is square prior to affixing the shingle

panels.

• Hint: You can use the inner cover and some packing

material to hold it square while you affix the

shingles.

3. To affix the roof shingles, place them so that

the underside of the panels match with the roof

alignments on the gables.

4. Line up the holes in the shingle panels with the roof

gables. The roof overhangs the front and rear gables

by 27mm (1.06 inches). Use the roof alignment block

to measure this overhang

5. Check once again that the roof assembly is square

and that the holes in the shingles are correctly aligned

with the gable ends. Screw the shingles into position

(square drive bit and square drive screws).

• Take care with this stage to make sure the screws

are positioned square to the shingle and run into the

gable (so they don’t break through).

6. Line up the ridge cap with the roof shingles. Screw the

ridge cap down as shown.

7. To secure the roof, locate the two brass wing screws.

Screw into the pilot holes in the side rails. These can

be used to secure your roof in high wind areas.

3. To affix the roof shingles, place them so that

the underside of the panels match with the roof

to measure this overhang

5. Check once again that the roof assembly is square and

that the holes in the shingles are correctly aligned with
the gable ends. Screw the bottom shingle into position
first (square drive bit and square drive screws), then
apply some wood glue to the join between the two
roof shingles to create a good weather barrier, before
affixing the top shingle.
