If your doors are not aligning

correctly, it may be necessary to

shim the Grand Garden Chalet to

fix the problem.

38. Locate both Roof Panels and place with roofing paper

and framing up on level ground. As with Floor Panels, slide

Tongue of one panel into the Groove of the adjacent panel

until tightly fitting.

Note, Roofing paper of each Roof Panel will overhang on

the inside of each Panel. Tuck one under the other.

39. Locate both Roof Connector Blocks (11/16”t x 1 1/2”w x 4 7/8” long). Blocks will be positioned and

attached where gaps between roof framing exists. Use 2 - 1 1/4” screws in Pre-drilled holes of Blocks to

secure. Next attach 24” long Center Support Cleat centered on roof seams. Use 4 - 1 1/4” screws to

secure (2 per roof panel). When complete, your finished Roof Section should be 34 1/4” deep x 68” wide.

41. When correctly positioned, fasten Roof down using 4 - 1 1/2”

screws at the rear. Screw from Roof into Backwall Top Plate. Drill

1/8” diameter Pilot Holes first to avoiding splitting of wood. In the

front, measure 1 1/4” deep x 3 1/2” and 12 1/2” from outside

edge of Roof. Drill 1/8” diameter Pilot Holes first making sure to

hit framing of Front Wall. Use 4 - 1 1/2” screws to secure.

Congratulations and thanks for purchasing one of our Grand Garden Chalets!

Note; The Grand Garden Chalet is shipped as an unfinished product. If exposed to the elements, the

western red cedar lumber will weather to a silvery-gray color. If you prefer to keep the cedar lumber

looking closer to the original color, we suggest that you treat the wood with a good oil base wood

stain. You may also wish to paint your new Grand Garden Chalet rather then stain it. In both cases

we recommend that you consult with your local paint and stain dealer in your local area for their

recommendations.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about your Grand Garden Chalet, please

contact our customer support line @ 1-800-987-4337

Thanks again!

Important

The Grand Garden Chalet

must be level for doors to
