STEP 52: ROOF STARTERS

1: Place the 1 x 5 x 18-3/8" Roof Starters at the peak of the roof as shown. The edges

should touch one another but the parts should not overlap.

2: Before installing the starters check the dimensions shown below to make the roof

supports parallel.

3: Once the roof supports are parallel the Roof Starters may be installed using #8 x 1-

1/2" wood screws.

(Right End)

Measure between the roof supports at the

bottom

. Here the measurement shown is 14-5/8"

(Your dimension may vary.). You want the

measurement between the roof supports

at the top and bottom to match each other.

Secure the starter so the right end

shown is flush

to the inside of the roof support. Then adjust the

left side so that the 14-5/8" dimension is

achieved. (Your dimension may vary.) Then

install #8 x 1-1/2" screws to secure the left side.
