STEP 1
Pick out the 3" x 8" header beams (Fig. 1-1). If the header beams require splicing simply insert an equal amount of the
provided header splice into each of the square ends of the header beams and secure with 10 - #8 x 3/4" Tek Screws on
both sides of the splice (Front & Back for a total of 40 screws, see Fig 1-2). Be sure to locate a column under header splices.

STEP 2
Pick out the Rafter Mounting Brackets (#10 on parts list). Secure Rafter brackets to header with 4 - #8 x 3/4" Tek Screws
as shown in Fig. 2-2, see Fig. 2-1 for spacing details. If the Header is reinforced, 1 1/2" screws must be used to secure
the Rafter Brackets to the Header.
NOTE: Rafter distance on center (O.C.) will most likely be 24"
