On a roof section attach an L-bracket to the underside of each roof bearer at the apex end using 2 x 40mm screws per bracket. Evenly rest the second roof section against
the first and attach using 2 x 40mm screws through the L-brackets. Drill 4 holes in each finial. Centre the finial so it overlaps both roof rafters and secure using 4 x 40mm
screws per finial. Drill 2 holes at each end of the cover strip and secure on the roof ridge using 4 x 40mm screws.
