Step 3:

 Assemble the notched ends of the pipe to the 3-way couplers. The notched pipe has 

pre-drilled screw holes. Couplings have no holes.

Step 4:

 Install the supplied hex driver bit into the chuck of your drill/driver.

   

Step 5:

 Fasten the rafter sections to the coupling using 3/4" Tek screws. Go through the guide holes 

in the rafter pipes into the coupling.

Tip: 

Tek screws are self-drilling and no pilot hole is usually required. If you have trouble

getting a Tek screw to “bite,” try another Tek screw (or you can drill a 3/16" pilot hole).
