Page 2: Before You Begin
Before You Begin These instructions are meant to serve as a guide for people with a basic knowledge of general handyman skills. This assembly requires a minimum of two people to complete. (Extra help with installing the roof sections is suggested.) Please always check with your local building codes. -
Page 3: Site Preparation
Site Preparation Consider a few details before beginning assembly: 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 tops are all level. - Page 4 Template Assembly Your pavilion kit includes a wooden template that you will use to mark your post locations. You will notice that two of the 2x4 boards have a marking near the ends. You will build a box that will reveal the outside corners of the posts when properly placed.
- Page 5 Once the template is in position, you will need to square the template. Do this by measuring diagonally from one corner to its opposite corner. Then measure diagonally between the other two corners. These two dimensions MUST be the same. Adjust the template until the diagonal measurements are identical.
- Page 6 Assembly NOTE: If you ordered a pavilion with heavy duty anchors, please turn to page 12. The next step is placing the post at the marks you made with the template. When placing the post, make sure you turn it the correct way. There should be a 3"...
- Page 7 Once you have the header beam up in place, fasten it to the upright post with four ⁄ " x 6" GRK screws in each post. Be sure to use the outside set of pre-drilled holes only. Continue with the header on the oth- er side of the structure.
- Page 8 NOTE: If you ordered heavy duty anchors, please skip this step. Lift bottom post base up approximately 16". You can put a screw in to hold it if you want to. Fasten four of the black L brackets to bottom of post with five 2½" screws.
- Page 9 You should be ready to assemble the roof structure now. Locate the two pieces about two to three feet long. These go on top of return beam. There should be a mark on top of return beam. Make sure it is right in the center or your rafters won't fit.
- Page 10 The next step will be the GRK screws. One 5" GRK screw on top of each rafter going into the ridge beam. And one 8" GRK through the rafter and into the header There should be four 2x4 fly rafters the length of the main rafters.
- Page 11 The next step will be installing the gable fascia. Keep it flush on top of 1x3s. If you have asphalt shingles, keep it flush with the tongue & groove. Put it right in the center of ridge beam. Fasten with one 2½" screw every 24".
- Page 12 Heavy-Duty Anchors for High Wind Set the outside edges of the brackets at the pencil marks you made from the template. Be sure your bracket is sitting correctly against the pencil marks. Using the brack- et base as a template, drill a hole using a ⁄...
- Page 13 Place the post into the bracket. Make sure you turn it the correct way. There should be a 3" notch and 1" notch on top of the post. The 3" notch gets turned to the outside to receive the header beam. Level the post on both sides, then fasten 8 ⁄...
- Page 14 Return Gable Assembly Attach the middle upright, centered on the beam. Attach the ridge board to the upright and attach the other end to the ridge board. Add the outer rafters. (NOTE: these will not have the bird’s mouth cuts.) They will set on the beam and line up with the outside edge of the beam, fasten with four 3...
- Page 15 Install the jack rafters on the main roof. Locations will be marked and all are pre-cut. Do this on both sides. Install the jack rafters on the dormer in the same way. Install Tongue and Groove Decking Install the 1x6 tongue and groove boards. On larger pavilions they will be spliced.
- Page 16 NOTE: This step only applies to structures with metal roofs. If you do not have a metal roof skip this step. Fasten horizontal roof lath pieces with two 2" screws at each rafter. Place the first piece of lath directly on top of the lowest deck- ing board.
- Page 17 Roof Option 1 Installing a Metal Roof Install the drip edge over the bottom lath piece. Cut each piece to length. Fasten with 1" screws, staples or nails. Install the foam ribbing roughly ⁄ "-2" from the bottom of the drip edge.
- Page 18 The next piece must properly overlap on the far edge of the first piece. The last piece of metal roofing may need to be cut to size to be flush with the edge of the fascia. Once you have all the metal roofing installed, hold the ga- ble end trim in place to mark the upper end of the trim that...
- Page 19 Install the foam ribbing along the peak of the roof roughly ⁄ " from the peak. Be care- ful to fit this to the metal roof profile and do not stretch it. Be sure this foam will be covered by the ridge cap when it is installed.
- Page 20 Roof Option 2 Installing an Asphalt Roof NOTE: Before beginning, consult instructions on shingle packaging. We do not include fasteners for asphalt shingles with our kits. This is because some states require different fasteners than oth- ers, and because some customers have different tools than others (hammer, nail gun, pneumatic stapler, hammer tacker, etc.) Please use shallow depth fasteners to fasten your shingles to your 1x6 roof decking.
- Page 21 Use four ⁄ " roofing nails and attach to roof through shin- gle at the center line marked on the shingle. Do not fasten below the line or your fasteners will be exposed. Start the second row, line up the bottom edge of the shin- gles with the architectural line on the shingle below.
- Page 22 Start at both ends of the ridge and work toward the center of the ridge. The last shingle will need cut in half and will bring the ridge together...
- Page 23 Electrical Package NOTE: a qualified electrician is required to install any electrical work beyond the provided steps and roughed-in wiring package. Locate the wire package and install it on one of the inside corner posts. Unless you ordered a pavilion with a center post, you may install where needed.
