COMPLETING THE HIP END
UPPER FRAME
In the following steps the upper frame of the hip end will be
completed (see fig.13 to the right). Following this sequence
will result in a smooth assembly.
As this upper frame is completed, you should begin to position
the hip end close to its intended position.
In addition to the long and short pins used above, the corner
weldments have a
thicker short pin
that is used only for hori-
zontal pinning through the lower end of the hip bar.
Complete the end eave by joining each
Eave Bar (E-15) to the Eave Weldment
(EW), as shown, and pin with long pins.
Insert a square arm of a Corner Weldment
(CW) to each outer end of the Eave Bar (E-
15) as shown and pin with a long pin.
Using the Rafter w/ Hook (RH-30) and the Eave Bars (E-15)
for leverage, pivot the cross beam to a vertical position, lin-
ing up the Eave Bars with the Corner Weldments at each
end of the end Eave Bar assembled in the preceding steps.
The free ends of the Eave Bars used to pivot the
cross beam can now be attached to the Corner
Weldments and pinned vertically with a long pin.
The free lower end of the Rafter w/ Hook can be
attached to the Eave Weldment (EW) at the center
of the end eave. Secure vertically with a long pin.
Install the upper end of each Hip Bar to the ridge weldment at the top of
the cross beam. To do this,
first align the Hip Bar straight in
along
side the Rafter w/ Hook, then swing the lower end of the Hip Bar out-
ward to the Corner Weldments and pin with the short,
thick
pin.

Corner Weldment (CW). Notice the slotted underside
of the hip bar designed to drop over the top arm of the
Corner Weldment.
