STEP 3: INSTALL WEB BRACES (2):
Loosely attach Web Bracket 2 to the other end of Web Brace 1. Place the Web Bracket on the Collar Tie (make sure the
collar tie is straight and fasten the face of the bracket to the collar tie with a self-drilling screw. Remove the hex nut and
attach one end of Web Brace 2 to the Web Bracket 2 assembly. ( Like the first assembly, one brace end should be on
one side of the web bracket tab and one on the other.) Now, loosely attach Web Bracket 3 to the other end of Web Brace
2 and fasten the bracket to the under side of the rafter. Repeat assembly for remaining Web Brace 2.
STEP 4: ASSEMBLING WEB BRACE 3: WEB BRACE 3 IS 24” LONG ON ALL CARPORTS (part #76-2400).
Measure out 1” from the end of the Collar Tie and make a mark. This will be the location of the upper Web Bracket for
Web Brace 3. Attach the upper Web Bracket with 3 self-drilling screws. Now, fasten Web Brace 3 to the upper Web
Bracket with a hex bolt, lock washer and hex nut. (Do not tighten at this time.)
Loosely attach a Web Bracket to the lower end of Web Brace 3 and place it against the side post. Re-check the building
dimension across the bottom of the frame (20’) before attaching lower bracket to side post. Now, attach the face to the
side post with a screw, remove the hex nut, let the bolt drop down and install the two screws in the side of the Web
Bracket. Now, reinstall the bolt, lock washer and nut. Repeat assembly for remaining Web Brace 3 on the other side of
the frame.
WHEN ALL BRACES ARE IN PLACE, TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE. The nut size is 9/16”. You may also need to hold the
bolt head with pliers.
