STEP 39: ROOF PEAK ASSEMBLY
1: BEFORE ATTACHING THE 1 X 4 X 57 ROOF PEAK, MAKE A MEASUREMENT AT THE INSIDE OF
THE BOTTOM OF THE ROOF SUPPORTS AND THEN AT THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF SUPPORTS AT THE
PEAK OF THE ROOF. THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE SHOWN AS "A" AND "B" BELOW AND THEY
SHOULD BE EQUAL.
2: IF THE MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT EQUAL THEN MAKE THE OVERHANG ON THE RIGHT SIDE 2-
7/16" FROM THE ROOF PEAK SUPPORT TO THE END OF THE ROOF PEAK ASSEMBLY. AT THIS
POINT THE HOLES IN THE ROOF PEAK SHOULD BE ALMOST CENTERED OVER THE ROOF
SUPPORT. INSTALL THE #8 X 1-1/2" WOOD SCREWS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
3: NOW HAVE AN ASSISTANT HOLD THE ROOF SUPPORTS APART TO MATCH DIMENSION "A" AT
THE PEAK OF THE ROOF. NOW FASTEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROOF PEAK TO THE ROOF
SUPPORTS WITH #8 X 1-1/2" WOOD SCREWS. COMPARE A AND B NOW TO ENSURE THEY ARE
EQUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP.
