If you have only one collar tie, you will fasten it to the center rafter (skip to
Step 4 on the next page). If you have more than one collar tie, space the
collar ties on the ground evenly along the length of the structure, each
collar tie directly below a rafter.
3
Grab a collar tie and raise it up to the interior ceiling of the structure. Push
the collar tie up against the bottom of T&G so that the mitred end of the
collar tie is flush with the bottom of the T&G, and the 4” face of the 2x4 is
flush against side of your rafter.
Fasten the collar tie to the
rafter with six 2 1/2" screws at
each end of the collar tie.

Installing Collar Ties
Your pavilion kit may include collar ties. Collar ties prevent the middle of the main beams from bowing
outwards due to the downward pressure of the roof due to gravity (i.e., the weight of the roof).
1
Identify the collar ties in your kit. A collar tie is a 2x4 (2x6 for larger sized
pavilions) with the ends mitred to match the pitch of your roof, like this:
For the purposes of these instructions, we will assume you have a 2x4 collar
tie, rather than a 2x6.
Plug all countersinked Cortex
screw holes with provided
plugs, and using the provid-
ed caulk, caulk all gaps in the
trim components. Congratu-
lations! You are now ready to
install your roofing option.
