Step 1 - Extend the existing base to accommodate the new length of your building.
Extend the base by 57 1/2” (146,1 cm) for each
Extension Module you have purchased.
Use similar materials and construction to
match the existing base, in accordance with
any local regulations.
PRESSURE TREATED LUMBER MUST NOT
COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR BUILDING.
Step 2 - Assemble the Trusses (assemble one Truss for each Extension Module purchased).
Align the Truss Post and Truss
Post Insert and join as shown.
Insert Large Screws along
both sides of the Truss Post
where holes align.
Build two Assemblies.
ASSEMBLY NOTE:
Each Extension Module
contains one additional Truss Section. The
Truss Section contained in this Extension
Module is identical to the Truss Sections already
installed in your building. If in doubt about a step
or procedure, it may be helpful to see how the
existing Truss Sections are installed in your
building.
You will need the following parts for this step:
10881 Truss Post
10882 Truss Post Insert
10883 Upper Chord Truss
10884 Lower Chord Truss
10885 Truss Splice
10646 Truss Knee Brace
7003 Shear Plate LT

assembled, check that the width of
the Truss is 118 1/4” (300,4 cm) across
the top and bottom of the Truss. If so,
tighten all fasteners. Repeat steps to
build additional Trusses.
With the Upper and Lower Chord Trusses
positioned as shown below, attach Shear
Plates where indicated below.
Attach Shear Plates using Large Screws
to Upper Chord fi rst, then to the Lower
Chord.
Build two Assemblies.
Repeat for additional Trusses
