    Before You Begin Please always check with your local building codes, they will vary from state to state. The base for the Pavilion must be solid and level. If installing on a concrete slab or on concrete footers, they should be level where the posts will rest. If they are not, it may be necessary to cut the bottom of the posts so that the bottoms are all level.
  • Page 3 Notes: An air-nailer or stapler can be used for rubber or asphalt shingles. (Air nails and staples not included in the kit.) There will be a parts list sent with the Pavilion. All hardware is included in each Pavilion kit. The specific hardware will vary depending on the Pavilion.

  • Page 9 The eaves-side fascia boards will overlap the gable-sides and will extend out past them 11" (12" past the top plate). Align the pre-marked line with the end of the gable-side fascia board ends. Attach the eaves-side fascia to the top plate just as was done with the gable- sides.
  • Page 10 Set the first roofing section for the other side in place as was done for the first section. These two sections can now rest against each other on their ridge boards. Now, con- nect these two ridge boards together with one 2 1/2" screw, staggered every 16"...

  • Page 15 Installing Collar Ties Your pavilion kit may include collar ties. Collar ties prevent the middle of the main beams from bowing outwards due to the downward pressure of the roof due to gravity (i.e., the weight of the roof). Identify the collar ties in your kit. A collar tie is a 2x4 (2x6 for larger sized pavilions) with the ends mitred to match the pitch of your roof, like this: For the purposes of these instructions, we will assume you have a 2x4 collar tie, rather than a 2x6.
