STEP 27: ROOF SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES
1: LAY THE 2 X 4 X 36-3/8" ROOF SUPPORT LEFT AND THE 2 X 4 X 36-3/8" ROOF SUPPORT RIGHT
ON A FLAT SURFACE WITH THE COUNTERBORES FACING THE FLAT SURFACE. ALIGN THE TIPS OF
THE BOARDS AND USE A CARPENTER'S SQUARE TO SQUARE THE BOARDS UP.
2: PLACE THE 5/4 X 6 X 10" ROOF PEAK SUPPORT ON TOP OF THE ROOF SUPPORTS. ALIGN THE
TOP EDGES OF THE ROOF PEAK SUPPORT FLUSH OR SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN THE TOP EDGES OF
THE ROOF SUPPORT LEFT AND RIGHT PIECES.
3: FASTEN ONE SIDE OF THE ROOF PEAK SUPPORT TO ONE OF THE ROOF SUPPORTS WITH TWO
#8 X 2" WOOD SCREWS. USE THE CARPENTER'S SQUARE TO CHECK THE BOARDS ARE SQUARE.
THEN FASTEN THE OTHER ROOF SUPPORT TO THE ROOF PEAK SUPPORT WITH TWO #8 X 2"
WOOD SCREWS.
