Step 31: Attach Roof to Fort
A:
With two helpers place the Roof Assembly, from Step 9, on the fort as shown in fig. 31.1. The roof should
be centred on the Roof Frame assembly and (0863) Roof Supports should be flush to the inside of the fort
and resting on (1865) SW Roof Side and (1864) SL Roof Side. The (0501) Joists should fit tight to the inside
of each (0357) Tarp Front Back.
B:
Predrill and attach (0357) Tarp Front Back to (0501) Joists using 1 (S2) #8 x 1-1/2” Wood Screw per side.
(fig. 31.1 and 31.2)
C:
Attach 1 (0514) Roof Brace to each (0863) Roof Support so it is tight against the angled edge of the Roof
Supports using 2 (S2) #8 x 1-1/2” Wood Screws per brace. (fig. 31.3 and 31.4)

Attach each (0514) Roof Brace to (1865) SW Roof Side and (1864) SL Roof Side using 2 (S1) #8 x 1-1/8”
Wood Screws per brace. (fig. 31.3 and 31.4)
