Sundance Spas Gazebos Installation Instructions WillowWood
Step 26
Position a Corner Bracket [17] on the tie
plate directly under one of the hip rafters as
shown in Diagram 26. Attach the bracket
only to the hip rafter for now. You’ll attach
the tie plate section later. It is best to work
from the inside of the gazebo. The entire
corner bracket is predrilled with 27 holes.
Step 27
Center each hip rafter on the corner
seam of the tie plate as shown in
Diagram 27. Attach the hip rafter to the
tie plate with one 2-1/2" screw, as
shown, for temporary alignment and
safety.
Pro Tip - Safety Precaution: Do not add
any additional weight to the roof
assembly at this point.
Step 28
From the inside of the wall assembly,
position the tongue portion of the corner
bracket along the hip rafter. Slide the
bracket until the rafter and the bracket’s
angled section touches and runs parallel
to the hip rafter as shown in Diagram 28.
Repeat for remaining three hip rafters.
The mid-rafters will require "Tee"
Brackets for support and they will attach
later.
