Assembling the Roof Panel Clips
The roof panel clips are located at the top of the roof rafters nearest to the center collar rafter clips.
Before You Begin
The A-frame rafters should be fully assembled and installed to the center collar and the eave brackets.
What You Should Know
The A-frame assembly consists of two roof rafters identified as the left-hand roof rafter (A) and the right-
hand roof rafter (C). The roof panel clip is installed between each rafter after the A-frame assemblies are
installed.
1. Attach the two roof panel clips (B) to the left-hand roof rafter (A), and install two flange bolts (D) and
two flange nuts (E) securing the roof panel clips to the left-hand roof rafter.
2. Attach the third roof panel clip (B) to the right-hand roof rafter (A), and install two flange bolts (D) and
two flange nuts (E) securing the roof panel clips to the right-hand roof rafter.
NOTE: Ensure that the orientation of the roof panel clip is correct, roof panel holes facing the roof
and the notch in the roof panel clip is facing the right-hand roof rafter.
3. Tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specifications only after the roof panels are
installed. See
Bolt Torque Specifications, page 26
