Roof Assembly
Bring the Roof Panels together so the tops form a peak tight to the inside edge of the outside slats. Use a Narrow Angle Bracket on each slat and fix in place with two (S0) Truss Screws per bracket.

Roof Ends
Remove the outside (H9) hex bolts from the end wall's top leaving the t-nuts (TN1). The flat (FW1) and lock(LW1) washers are used in the next step.
Loosely attach 1 (2759) Roof End to each corner of the End Wall, flush to the top of (2769) Panel BT Frame, with 1 (H3) Hex Bolt per board, using the (FW1) Flat Washer and (LW1) Lock Washer from previous step, connecting to the (TN1) T-nut. Notice which bolt holes are to be used.
Measure the overhang at 4-7/8” (124 mm) then attach with 2 (S11) Wood Screws and 1 (S3) Wood Screw per (2759) Roof End. Tighten the bolts.
Attach roof ends to each corner of the swing wall, flush to the top with the 4-7/8” (124 mm) overhang attaching with two wood screw (S11) and one (S3) per roof end. Notice which holes are to be used.
Attaching Roof
With 2 people on the ground and at least 1 person in the fort, lift the Roof Assembly up and over the Back side of the fort. Guide the Roof Assembly onto the fort so all four (2760) Roof Supports sit flush to the front and outside edges of (2759) Roof Ends.
