Step 31
Attaching the Roof Panels
The rafter cleats are pre-attached to the
roof rafters as shown in Diagram 31.
Place a Roof Panel [16] onto the rafter
cleats as shown in Diagram 31. Slide the
panel forward until it just touches the roof
box header. Using too much pressure will
cause the roof panel to buckle and rise up.
Place one screw in the upper corner of the
roof panel to secure it temporarily on the
hip rafter side (long rafter). Do not fully
attach roof panels at this time.
Align the top edge of the roof panel with
the roof header box. Adjust the mid rafters
if necessary to make the roof panel flush
with the roof header box seam.
Note: If the roof panel is not square with
the header and hip rafter, align the roof
panel down the hip rafter with a 3/8" gap.
Then attach it with three 1-5/8" screws. Now,
push the opposite side until the top is aligned
with the header. Place one 1-5/8" screw into
the mid rafter. This will re-align the rafter sys-
tem.
