Run a bead of sealant in a straight line above the
predrilled holes near the very top edge and then
run a second bead in a straight line directly
under the predrilled holes

Subtract 3-1/2 inches from your measurement AND *1/2" per ft of your roof panels (*minimum) if
your roof panels are 10ft = 5" … if roof panels are 12ft = 6” *if you can get more pitch do it*
Example: if you bought a 12ft deep x 22ft wide LifeRoom ONE:
and you measured 98 inches to the bottom of Roof Header - 98" - 3-1/2” = 94-1/2”
then 94-1/2" - 6" = 88-1/2”)
Example = Cut your first post to 88-1/2 inches long
Slip YOUR first post tightly over the Top Post Bracket(I)
fasten through the post into the internal bracket leg
using (4) four #14 x 1-1/4" tek screws evenly spaced
on both sides
Place a Ladder at the first End Post for Person #1.
place second ladder near the opposite end for person
#2. Stand up the attached Post and Front Edge Beam assembly while person #2 is holding the Front
Edge Beam LEVEL & holding a POST against the Edge Beam
Person #1 tells person #2 to Raise or Lower the 3x3 Edge Beam to get it level. When it is level,
person #2 will Mark along the bottom to the beam onto the post. Cut the post under the line
marked. Repeat STEP "3-D" to fasten the Post(#J) to the Edge Beam(#F)
Using ladders and or your building buddies, hold the assembly of the 2 posts and Edge Beam upright.
Then double check to make sure the Edge Beam is LEVEL. If it is not LEVEL, then cut one of your
posts to make that adjustment.
