Fig. 16.4
C:
Lift a Small Roof Panel Assembly with Roof to Beam Brackets over Short Beam Assembly taking care not to
drag the panel on the beams. Make sure the middle Roof to Beam Bracket lines up to the centre mark and the
Rafter Corners are flush with each other.
One person must remain on the centre ladder to hold both panels in
place until three panels are up and secure.
(fig. 16.2, 16.3 and 16.4)
D:
Starting at the bottom and working up connect Large Roof Panel Assembly to Small Roof Panel Assembly
through the Rafter Corners with three 1/4 x 2-3/4” Hex Bolts (with two 1/4-5/16” large washers and one 1/4” lock
nut). To align bolt holes helper in the centre may have to push up the centre of the panels and others make sure
corners are aligned. Make sure all bolts are tight. (fig. 16.2 and 16.5)
