STEP 4: RAISE POST & HEADER
Tools Required
FIRST: Raise the post and header beam
assembly from the ground. NOTE: All
seams on rafters are to face towards the
top side. Attach one rafter to each end
of 3” x 8” header beam and to each
end rafter hanger at ledger location.
Fasten with 4 each #8 x 5/8” TEK
screws 2 on each side. Rafters should
extend past 3” x 8” header beam. (12”
typ.)
SECOND: At this point, move the post
and 3” x 8” header beam to insure that
the end rafters are square with building.
After the unit is square with building,
next step is to plumb the post in both
directions. Now drilling a 3/8” hole with
masonry bit, fasten to slab with 3/8” x
2-3/4” wedge anchor and tighten
anchor bolts.
THIRD: After all posts are plumbed and
anchored in place, the remaining rafters
can now be installed and secured in the
same manner as the end ones.
