6. Attach the corner plates to the gutters, using eight 3/4 drill screws. It is Very important that this
step is followed!
7. At this time, the final leveling, squaring, and plumbing of the frame can be done and all bolts tight-
ened.
8. Using the 1 1/4 drill screws, attach the six ridge caps to the top of the rafters, screwing through
one side of the bottom lip of the ridge cap into the side of the rafter, on 12 centers.
9. The roof panels are boxed and numbered, as to each section of the roof; do not mix one box with
another. Start in the center of each section and snap the lock of the roof pans together. Secure to the
ridge cap and the lip of the gutter with the 3/4 drill screws on 8 centers. NOTE: place the tie block
cap on top of the unit and fasten to the ridge cap prior to installing the roof panels of the last section.
Be sure to maintain 24 spacing on roof panels.
10. We recommend drilling 1 1/2 holes in the bottom of the gutter at several locations, or down-
spouts may be used to drain water from the gutters.
