Details of support

This shows how we braced the roof support during assembly


The instructions state that you should assemble the roof supports on the ground and lift them into place. While that may be safer it would have required an army of people. What I did instead was to assemble each second (starting with the door). I lifted the second into place. One helper guided it onto the verticals and clamped it to the verticals, another clamped the center of the roof to the 2x4 on the top and to the cement block on the bottom. Working quickly we got all of the sections up in under an hour. Once everything was up and bolted it rested on the the verticals (and held in place with the clamps). I then screwed the roof into the verticals.
