Assemble Gable Frame continued
6.
Install pre-cut gable studs inside the gable frame. Use a framing square to make sure the studs
are plumb and fit tight to the top 2x4 top frame and bottom plate. Use 3-1/2" x 8" OSB gussets
to temporally secure the tops of the gable studs until the siding is applied. Use 6d common
nails. Secure the stud to the bottom 2x4 plate using (2) two 10d sinker nails. See Detail 'E'.

Attach 36" gable stud
using a 2-1/2" long screw.
8.
Flip frame over and remove from the
blocks. Move the frame to the loft area.
Position the gable so the bottom of the
gable is facing towards the 14' end wall.
This will make the gable easier to install
after the siding is applied.
9.
Repeat steps 1 to 7 to assemble another
gable frame. Do not remove 1x4 blocks
from floor. They will be needed for a later
step.
