STEP 2:
Position the first Roof Sheet (slotted end facing front) so that the top
of the sheet is at the centre of the Ridge Beam and the side of the
sheet over hangs the end of the Ridge Beam (
fig .3
). Using 1 x
weatherseal , nail in the top corner. Nail the lower corner ensuring
15mm overhang.
Position the remaining front Roof Sheets and rivet them together as
shown ensuring slots at the front line up with each other.

the Roof Sheet overhangs the end of the Ridge Beam and the Top
Plate by 15mm.
Nail front Roof Sheets to Ridge Beam and Top Plate (1 x weather-
seal per pan,
fig.4
) ensuring Ridge Beam and Top Plate are straight.
Repeat with remaining roof sheets
