Step 1
Step 2
Lay runner “A”on a flat, level surface and then, using the
end and centre slots on the runner as a guide, slide the
posts on to it as shown.
Make sure the post is correctly aligned and square to the
runner before securing into place with a 65mm
woodscrew. Repeat this process for the remaining 2
posts.
Step 3
Step 4
To add braces where a post and runner meet, butt their
angled faces against the post and underside of the runner,
aligning it centrally against the post before fixing into
place with a 100mm coachscrew through each end as
shown here.
Carry out the same procedure as the previous steps with
runner “B”and 2 more posts and braces.

Step 5
Step 6
Attach a post and brace to runner “D”as shown here,
noting that the slot at the opposite end to the posts is on
the bottom face of the runner.
Using your assistants, arrange the two assemblies from
Steps 1 and 4 opposite each other as shown and around
the same distance as a long timber apart. Drop the two
rafter “C”timbers into the appropriate slots so that they
fully house in the top of the posts. Tip: Adjusting the
position of the various components to keep them at right
angles will aid the easing of the timbers into the slots.

Step 8
To secure a rafter/runner timber down, secure both ends
by driving a 200mm coachscrew down into the post.
Now add the assembly from step 5 by raising it slightly
over the end of the structure and then lowering the end
of the runner into position on the post slot as shown. Add
a brace to the central “C”rafter.
