Eave Adjustable Braces
The eave adjustable braces must be attached at this time. An eave adjustable brace is comprised of one
larger diameter tube and two (2) smaller tubes.
(See Figure 7F.) Slip the smaller tubes inside the larger
tubes and attach one smaller tube to the top of the ladder extension rail. Adjust the other smaller tube so
the bottom of the flattened tube reaches the roof panel. Field drill four (4) 5/16" holes through both large
and small tubes and bolt together using 1/4" x 1-1/2" bolts and nuts. This prevent the adjustable braces
from slipping.
(See Figure 7G.)
