Step 6Install the Roof Slats
In this step I will install the roof slats.
In this step I installed the roof slats. My slats are 1.5" x 1.5" wide I laid the slates next to each other to create a 1.5" spacing between them. I did this for all of them except the ends, which I secured first.
I drilled recessed holes into the slats because my screws were to short. The recessed holes are about 1.25" deep, I had some short screws to work with, but you can use what ever length you choose.
I had to put shims in over the door opening. The door opening angles back from the front, it's not square to the front, This created a small error for me. The slats on the left sat lower than the right because the support rail was back farther. As I said I just installed some shims and every thing was fine.
Install the rest of the slats and move on to the next step, "Installing the Lattice".
