Once we get the rafters set, right now they are just laying down, and we want to make sure that you have got the lay out. So you have the layouts on the end here. And then we have made a mark here, to where is slides over flush to this beam. On this one here we are going fourteen inches past, yours may be twelve.

We’ve just got a layout mark we’ve got there and then it sits right down in this notch and then we just do two toe nail screws in. That’s going to hold the bottom. See there it is sitting down in that notch layout. The layout notch is going to help reduce the bottom of it from twisting out.

And then the top we are going to have all the 2 x 6’s spaced 10” on center with two decking screws per 2 x 6 per rafter. So that really locks in the whole roof and gives it the shear value. Because the roof isn’t going to be a solid roof, its got the 2 x 6’s, more of a lattice effect, the wind is going to blow through it rather than have a lot of uplift or else we would be fastening the rafters to the beams more securely with longer bolts at the top.
