Using a helper and two ladders proceed to complete the
following steps:
Raise one Main Support Beam Assembly at a time and insert
the Bolt Assembly into the holes to hold into place as shown.
Some force may be required to get the bolt through.
Do not tighten the nuts until all four beams are in place,
instead, simply hand-tighten them.
Once all four main suport beams are in position, use two
wrenches to lock the main support beams into place.
Fasten the main support beams onto the Posts using the 4” screws
provided (8 screws per post).
Place the rafters onto the main support beams as shown.
Space the middle two rafters 42” apart (Critical for louver placement)
