Eave Adjustable Braces

The adjustable braces must be attached at this time. A large diameter tube and two (2) smaller tubes are
used to make up one adjustable brace. 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 prevents the adjustable braces from slipping.
