ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fasten Roof Boards:
Start at the angled end of the Roof Rafters. Rest one Roof
Board (AD) on top of the Rafters flush to the angled end.
Use a 1/8" diameter drill to make pilot holes before fastening
the Roof Board to the Rafter using four #10 x 1-5/8" Screws.
Drill and screw the first hole at an angle, as shown, to avoid
the angled cut of the rafter.
Continue with the next three Roof Boards, setting each
against the previous Roof Board and fastening them. Once
the position of the Rafters is stable, lay the rest of the Roof
Boards in place. The sixth Roof Board should overhang the
end of the Rafters by approximately 1/2". If the overhang
is less than 1/2", evenly space the Roof Boards to achieve
an overhang. If the overhang is greater, alternative holes
should be made in the final Roof Board. Fasten the Roof
Boards using #10 x 1-5/8" Screws.
Center Roof Rafter:
Find the center of the Roof Panel Assembly, halfway be-
tween the Rafters. Align the a Roof Rafter (U) to the center
of the Roof Panel and fasten it in place using 1/8" pilot holes
and #10 x 1-5/8" Screws as with the other Rafters.
Assemble Second Roof Panel:
Flip the first Roof Panel to use as a template to assemble
the remaining Roof Panel. Place the remaining Rafters tight
against the Rafters on the assembled panel. Align the ends.
Fasten Roof Boards to the Roof Rafters using 1/8" diameter
pilot holes and #10 x 1-5/8" Screws, as with the first Roof
Panel.
STEP 15 — Roof Panels to Roof Uprights:
Fasten one Roof Panel assembly to the left Roof Uprights
using 1/4 x 4-1/2" Hex Bolt Assemblies.
Repeat with the other Roof Panel on the right uprights. Rest
the angled ends of the Roof Panels against each other.
Hint: If you are having trouble making this connection, loos-
en the connection between one Roof Upright and the Wall
Support. The Roof Upright can now be moved to allow better
access. Be sure to re-secure the connection after the Roof
Panels are in place.
