Step 5The Roof
The roof is built from 2x6s to give depth to the garden bed
Start by cutting four rafter pieces 21 inches long with a 22.5 degree cross cut at one end of each.
Also cut a ridge piece 44 inches long from a 2x6
Attach the rafters to either end of the ridge piece with pocket screws, alternately toe nailing is an option.
Place the roof on top of the house frame and square everything up and screw through the L beams into the rafters to attach the roof. The edges of the roof are cut from 2x6s to fit (approx 41 inches long.)
We will come back to the roof in a bit.
