Ridge

16"

Begin by screwing  upper portion of middle rafters onto Ridge, 
approximately 16" from angled edge. Adjust placement so that 
ridge is level, and make a mark on the glazing. Run a level 
vertically to get a plumb line against the front edge of the ridge 
and make a mark. Remove the assembly and cut the front
edge of the ridge. Place the rafter and ridge back using the mark 
that indicated level. Screw the bottom portion of the middle Rafters
to the Side Rafter Supports. Use 2-1/2" screws as shown.
