Ridge Beam
With an assistant holding one end of the ridge
beam, position the front of the beam at the
flat edge of the header peak and the back wall
peak. It also may be necessary to stand on a
ladder for this assembly step. Note the notches
in the bottom section of the ridge beam.
Carefully slide the notches over the inner and
outer wall of the header panels making sure
the opening in the bottom of the ridge beam
engages over the center seam of the head
wall. Press down to make sure the ridge
beam if full seated and that the flat part of the
beam sits flush with the flat part of the center
header panels.
Repeat this step on the header portion of the
back wall.

Roof Panels and Fascia Gables
Arrange the roof panels on a clean surface and join three or four
together by inserting and securing the Channel locks per previous
instructions. Again, make sure the DEEP Channel locks face out
(up). Join a fascia gable to one side of the roof panel section,
engaging and securing the channel locks noting the angle notched
end. This notched end of the fascia gable (Diagram 11A) will meet
the slope wall cap at the top of the side wall. Take care when using
the rubber mallet to engage the channel locks to avoid striking the
that the open end walls of the fascia gable.
With your assistant, position the roof panel assembly (Diagram 11B)
so that the furthest end of the panel assembly rests fully on the
ridge beam (as tight as possible to the vertical edge of the beam)
while placing the fascia gable end over the slope of the header
section. Make sure the fascia gable fully seats on the header.
Assemble and another three or four roof panels into a section
and join with the previous roof panel section to further complete
the roof. Your assistant should stand inside the shed, bracing the
new roof section with his/her hands as you use the rubber mallet
above to engage the channel locks, securing the section to the
previous section.
Complete the left half of the roof by assembling the last three or
four roof panels with a rear fascia gable, installing on the rear
header as you did with the roof sections toward the front. With the
rubber mallet, gently strike the lower ends of the roof section to
make sure the top ends of the roof section rest fully against the
vertical section of the beam.
Repeat steps for the right half of the roof. Again, strike lower ends
of the roof panels on both sides of the roof making sure they rest
against the vertical edge of the ridge beam.
