  • Page 2: Before You Begin

    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 4 Once the template is in posi- tion, square the template. Do this by measuring diagonally from one corner to its oppo- site corner, then measure diagonally between the other t w o c o r n e r s . T h e s e t w o dimensions MUST be the same.
  • Page 5 Slide your bottom post base on the post. Be sure to slide the bases up the post to make room for completing steps 9-22. NOTE: For HD High Wind brackets see the bracket appendices on page 21 (step 1) before moving on to step 9.
  • Page 6 Remove template boards from the posts on the short side. Attach a template board span- ning from the two corner posts on the short sides. Repeat steps 10 and 11 on opposite side. Attach short end headers with three 3 1/2” screws (in the pre- drilled holes) into the end of the other two beams.
  • Page 7 Push rail up against the bottom of the header. Put in center of post. Fasten to post with four 2 1/2" screws on both sides. Make sure the screws on the braces are PUSH turned in toward the inside of the building.
  • Page 8 Make sure the posts are all level and everything is square. With base trim still raised, fasten two L-brackets on the outside edges of each post with five 2 1/2" screws per bracket. Some engi- neering specifications require 4 brackets per post. NOTE: For HD High Wind brackets see bracket appendi- ces on pages 21-22 (Steps 2-4.)
  • Page 9 PUSH When all of the nuts have been tightened down and the posts are securely mount- ed to the concrete slab, slide the post trim down into place. Position the 2x8 plate against the 2x12. (It is important that the top plate boards equally over- hang the structure to accu- rately center the roof.) Fasten...
  • Page 10 Set finished sections up onto plate. Screw the two sections togeth- er at the top with two 2 1/2” screws between every rafter. Keep ends even. Fasten two 2x4 temporary props at either end of ridge pole to hold in place. NOTE: If you purchased an electrical package turn to page...

  • Page 12 Next, drive 2 1/2" screws every 16" along the entire length of the fascia board. Follow these same steps with the other short side fascia board as well. The long side fascia boards will overlap the short sides and will extend out past them 11"...
  • Page 13 There will be two different size half-moon trim pieces. The smaller one goes on top of the fascia. The larger one fits on the inside. Fasten the half-moon trim pieces to all three boards with one 1 1/2" screw. Repeat the same pro- cess on the inside.
  • Page 14 Ready to install roofing mate- rials. See appendices for each roof style. 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.
  • Page 15 Fasten the collar tie to the rafter with six 2 1/2" screws at each end of the collar tie. Collar Tie Typically 2x4 or 2x6 Roofing Option 1: Installing A Metal Roof Fasten horizontal "Roof Lath" pieces with two 2" roofing nails at each rafter.
  • Page 16 Install the ribbing roughly 1 1/2-2" from the bottom of the drip edge. Do not stretch the ribbing because the grooves of the roof must line up with the ribs. Install the tin, starting at right side and moving left. Ensure the first piece is installed squarely.
  • Page 17 Once gable end trim is cut to angle, attach the trim piece with one 1” screw into the fascia board every 24” of the open gable end. Next, fasten the top of the same trim piece with 1” screws at every roof lath.
  • Page 18 Roofing Option 2: Installing An Asphalt Roof NOTE: Before you begin the steps below, install roof paper starting at the bottom. Be sure to overlap 2" as you work upward.
