Carefully separate them before continuing.
● Parts Needed For ● Step 12 Gables/Roof Beams ● Left Gable Assemblies (2) ● Right Gable Assemblies (2) ● Single Roof Beam Assemblies (2) ● 6636 Gable Brace (2) WP25 1 Lift and fasten a right and left gable, under angle at corner, to the door track and rear wall angle with screws. Hint: On the front gable, leave out 2 screws closest to center gable leg. On the rear gable, use a bolt and nut at the overlapping rear wall angle. 2 Fasten the single roof beam to the outer gable leg as shown using bolts.
Step 13 ● Parts Needed For ● Roof Beam/Braces ● Main Roof Beam Assembly (1) ● 6227 Roof Beam Brace (2) WP26 1 Fasten the track supports to the front gable assembly only, as shown. STEP 1 2 Wrap the weather stripping tape around the two joined edges of the large left and right gables. See diagram. Cut the weather stripping to length and repeat on next gable set. Track Supports 6228 3 Spread the two halves of the double STEP roof beam and fasten to the gable brace of the front gable.
Step 14 ● Parts Needed For ● ● 10510 Right Roof Panel (1) Right Roof Panel WP27 Installing the roof panels is best done with a step ladder. Install the first roof panel at the back right corner of the building. Each screw and bolt in the roof requires a washer. NOTE Measure the building diagonally again and make adjustments to make sure the building is square and level. This will make the roof panels fit better, and holes will align. Don't anchor the floor frame.
Step 15 ● Parts Needed For ● ● 10511 Left Roof Panel (1) ● 6538 Roof Panel (2) ● 6869 Ridge Cap (3) Ridge Caps & Panels WP28 1 Install a left roof panel 10511 at the left rear corner of the roof. Screws To Roof Beam 2 Cut 28 short 3"(7,6cm) strips off the small roll of weather stripping tape, and put them aside. Cover the joint at the peak with weather stripping tape, large roll. Unroll the tape and press it down over the opening at the ridge as you install each roof panel.
Step 16 ● Parts Needed For ● ● 6538 Roof Panel (2) ● 6868 Ridge Cap (3) Ridge Caps & Panels WP29 1 Install the second ridge caps 6868 overlapping the first ridge caps while installing two roof panels 6538. Hint: The bolts on the ridge cap need to be left loose to move the ridge cap to the side and overlap the ribs of the next roof panel. Cover the notched areas of the roof panels with strips of weather stripping tape and continue weather stripping the ridge.
● Parts Needed For ● Step 17 Ridge Caps & Panels ● 6538 Roof Panel (2) ● 6869 Ridge Cap (3) ● 10510 Right Roof Panel (1) ● 10511 Left Roof Panel (1) WP30 Reducing Large Gable Bulge Loosen eight bolts and nuts shown. Apply pressure with one hand at the peak of the gable and tighten bolt #1. Keeping pressure on the gable work down the slope tightening each bolt. Excess material will overlap smaller gable at seam.
● Parts Needed For ● Step 18 Roof Trim ● 6014 Side Roof Trim (2) ● 6015 Side Roof Trim (4) WP31 1 Attach the side roof trim to the lower end of the roof panels on each side of the building using screws at each panel overlap. NOTE A single screw fastens both trim pieces at the overlap. 2 Using your thumb and index finger, overbend the bottom flange of the roof panel rib at the corner inward enough so the right and left roof trim caps fit onto right and left corners.
Step 19 ● 3719 Door Handle Brace (2) ● 10475 Right and Left Doors (2) ● 10497 Horizontal Door Brace (4) ● 6278 Vertical Door Brace (2) ● Parts Needed For ● Door Assembly SO32 The steps on this page tell how to assemble the right door.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST SO34 SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST Rusting is a natural oxidizing process that occurs when bare metal is exposed to moisture. Problem areas include screw holes, unfinished edges, or where scrapes and nicks occur in the protective coating through normal assembly, handling and use. Identifying these natural rusting problem areas and taking some simple rust protection precautions can help to stop rust from developing, or stop it quickly as soon as it appears. 1.
