Step 32
Once the roof panel is aligned properly,
attach it to the hip rafter with one 1-5/8"
screw at the top and one at the bottom of the
panel.
Next, align the mid rafter and also attach
it with one 1-5/8" screw at the top and one
at the bottom.
Do not fully secure the roof panels at this
time. Align and attach the next roof panel.
Continue until all roof panels are attached to
the roof assembly as shown in Diagram 32.
When all roof panels are attached, secure
1-5/8" screws in every third slat.
Step 33
Attaching the Ridge Caps
Separate the short (for mid-rafters) and
long (for hip-rafters) triangular Ridge
Caps [14 & 15]. Begin with the mid
rafters. Align a ridge cap next to the sec-
tion of rafter that sits above the roof
panel and attach to the rafter with 2-1/2”
screws as shown in Diagram 33. Finish
with the hip rafters in the same manner.
The ridge caps are pre-drilled
