Top Roof Section Module Build Instructions

Script

1. Cut 16' long members to 16' exactly.
2. Mark location of purlins 4' on center

1. Cut 4 purlins and 2 end caps for roof frame - fitted between long 16' members so that the panel is 3' wide. Note that we are not using plywood here.
2. Screw 2 long members and 2 end caps together using [3] 3" screws
3. Screw in purlins at marked locations
4. Invert on sawhorses and staple tyvek base layer upon which insulation will sit
5. Re-invert to right-side-up and insert insulation
6. Cover the top of panel with Tyvek as a moisture barrier under metal roofing. Note: do not install metal roofing - it is not possible to line up the seams this way, so roof metal goes on last.
