  • Page 1 WOOD TRADITIONAL (HIP) ROOF PAVILION ASSEMBLY MANUAL (Shown above is a 10' x 12' Pavilion) Thank you for your purchase of a new Pavilion. Depending on the size of your Pavilion, installation can usually be completed in 1 to 2 days. These instructions are meant to serve as a guide for people with a base knowledge of general handyman skills.

  • 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 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. Please see the parts list for details. The Pavilion kit includes a wooden template that will be used to mark the post loca-...
  • 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 other two corners. These two dimensions MUST be the same. Adjust the template until the diagonal measure- ments are identical.

    Assemble two posts and a beam on the ground, starting with a longer beam first. Make sure your post is square with the beam. TOP VIEW Attach the beam to the post with two 3 1/2" screws. Do not use the predrilled holes on the beam.
  • Page 6 Raise the connected posts and beam. Be sure to align the posts to the marks you made using the template. You might need someone to hold it as you get the other one. Once all four posts are posi- tioned at the marks you made using the template, screw a 2x4 from the tem- plate to each of the posts.
  • 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. Fasten rail to bottom of the header with two 2 1/2"...
  • Page 8 When all posts have two L brackets on, use a drill with 1/2" masonry bit to drill down about 1/2" farther than 1/2” length of wedge anchor. Before inserting the bolt, make sure dust is removed from hole. Then screw the nut and washer are on about 1/8”...
  • Page 9 Install the top plates. Position one 2x12 on the eaves side of the pavilion. Center the plate so that both ends fall at the same place on the top of the post, visually splitting the post-top from corner to corner. Be sure the overhang measurement matches on both ends.
  • Page 10 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 11 Raise the first roof panel into place and prop it with a 2x4. Raise the second roof panel. You might have to lower the prop until they meet at the ridge pole. Make sure the ridge pole is flush on both ends.
  • Page 12 Screw the ridge beams togeth- er with 2 1/2" screws every 16". (You might have to push up on the ridge pole to make it fit properly.) Repeat this process with the other side. When you have attached all roof panels together, go up on roof and take the bottom t&g board off.
  • Page 13 Install the corner trim by fastening it to the beams with four 2 1/2" screws. You are now ready to install roof shingles. 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).
  • Page 14 If you have only one collar tie, you will fasten it to the center rafter (skip to Step 4 on the next page). If you have more than one collar tie, space the collar ties on the ground evenly along the length of the structure, each collar tie directly below a rafter.
  • Page 15 Install the drip edge over the bottom lath piece. Cut each piece to length. Fasten with 1" screws, staples, or nails every 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.
  • Page 16 Repeat step 4 on all sides. Peel backing off of the foam and apply foam to the tin roof. Make sure not to go wider than the hip capping. DOWN VIEW Fasten hip capping with 1 1/2" screws on the tall ridges. Fasten ridge cap with 1 1/2”...
  • Page 17 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. Drip edge will then be installed on all edges of the roof, using a fastener every 16". Roofing Fasteners Please note we do not include fasteners for asphalt shingles with our kits.
  • Page 18 Use four 5/8” roofing nails and attach to roof through shingle at the center line marked on the shingle. Do not fasten below the line or your fasteners will be exposed. Start second row, line up bottom of shingle with the architectural line shingle below.
  • Page 19 Also instructions shingle package. Work across then up. Continue to the top. To cap the ridge, start the first capper centered on the ridge down past the corner. Place second capper into place.
  • Page 20 Fasten using two 1” roof nails per capper. Fasten nail through the black tar strip. Leave approximately 5 1/2” 1/2” exposed to the weather. Continue up the ridge using the same previous steps. Install cappers in a nice straight row for a neat appear- ance from a ground view.
