COMPLETING THE HIP END

UPPER FRAME

In the following steps the upper frame of the hip end will be
completed (see fig. 11 to the right). Following this sequence
will result in a smooth assembly.

As this upper frame is completed, you should begin to position
the hip end close to its intended position.

In addition to the long and short pins used above, the corner
weldments have a thicker short pin that is used only for hori-
zontal pinning through the lower end of the hip bar.

Complete the end eave by joining each
Eave Bar (E-10) to the Eave Weldment
(EW), as shown, and pin with long pins.

Insert a square arm of a Corner Weldment
(CW) to each outer end of the Eave Bar (E-
10) as shown and pin with a long pin.

Using the Rafter w/ Hook (RH-20) and the Eave Bars (E-10)
for leverage, pivot the cross beam to a vertical position, lin-
ing up the Eave Bars with the Corner Weldments at each
end of the end Eave Bar assembled in the preceding steps.

The free ends of the Eave Bars used to pivot the cross
beam can now be attached to the Corner Weldments
and pinned vertically with a long pin.

The free lower end of the Rafter w/ Hook can be
attached to the Eave Weldment (EW) at the center of
the end eave. Secure vertically with a long pin.

Install the upper end of each Hip Bar to the ridge weldment at the
top of the cross beam. To do this, first align the Hip Bar straight
in along side the Rafter w/ Hook, then swing the lower end of the
Hip Bar outward to the Corner Weldments and pin with the short,
thick pin.

Weldment (CW). Notice the slotted underside of the
hip bar designed to drop over the top arm of the Corner
Weldment.
