Attaching the Hip Rafters

Pro Tip: Hip Rafters are 50" long, Mid

Rafters are 47" long. To avoid mistakes,

lay rafters out side by side and group by

length prior to assembly.

Position the four 50" Hip Rafters [13] at

each corner of the roof box header

assembly as shown in Diagram 21.

Make sure the hip rafters are positioned

with the cleats out and to the ground.

See inset of Diagram 21. You are actual-

ly assembling the unit upside down.

Pro Tip: You will need an assistant for

this next step.

Step 22

Have an assistant hold a hip rafter in

place while you align it flush with the

upper edge of the roof box header

assembly. Attach each hip rafter to the

roof box with two 2-1/2" screws as

shown in Diagram 22.

Note: You are working on the underside

of the roof box header. Make sure the hip

rafter is flush with the bottom of the roof
