4. Apex panels and door header rail
Place an apex panel on top of the back panel, make sure the bottom shiplap board of the apex panel fits correctly into the shiplap board of the back panel. Secure by using
2 x 50mm screws, screw up through the top frame of the back panel into the bottom frame of the apex panel. Repeat for front apex. Attach to the front apex the door
header rail using 2 x 50mm screws. Secure it flush to the bottom of the apex framing as shown.
5. Roof sections
To the first roof panel secure a roof rafter flush to the right-hand edge of the panel, ensure the correct angled end of the rafter is flush to the short edge of the panel as
shown below. Attach using 4 x 30mm nails, nail through the panel into the rafter. To the second panel attach two rafters in the same way as the first with one down each
side of the panel. To the third panel attach a rafter down the Left-hand edge. Join the three panels together using 2 x 50mm screws per join, Screw through the the rafter
of one panel into the rafter of the next as shown. Create a second roof section in the same way as the first.
Ensure rafters
are flush to

7. Roofing felt
Cut the 5m roofing felt roll into two equal lengths. Place one length over one roof section. At the front and along the lower edge of the roof leave an overhang of felt of
at least 45mm. Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure to the felt batten using 25 x10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Tension the felt over the roof and secure
along the upper edge using 4 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this for the second piece of felt on the other half of the roof. Once the two pieces of felt are in place take the 2.5m
ridge felt roll and place over the apex of the roof making sure it sits centrally over the roof ridge and overlaps the other two felt pieces, attach using 25 x 10mm felt nails
evenly spaced, along each lower edge of the third felt. Dress down the ends of all felt pieces and attach to the Batten blocks at the front with 6 x 10mm felt nails. At the
back secure to the apex panel using 6 x 10mm felt nails in the same way. When all the felt is in position trim of any excess.

6. Roof sections
Secure to lower edge of both roof sections two felt battens using 5 x 30mm nails per batten as shown. Ensure the felt batten are flush to the edges of the panels. Flush to
the front edges of each section attach the roof batten blocks evenly spaced along the edge using 2 x 30mm nails per block. Position the roof panels onto the building, make
sure the top edges are located at the apex and the roof is flush with the back apex. Secure with 8 x 30mm screws per roof section, screw through the roof and into the
panel framing.From inside the building fix a gusset to both sides of the two rafters using 2 x 30mm nails per gusset.
