• The first component we will build for the roof is the rafters. We will be building 16 roof rafters with
2x4 10 feet studs. You will be able to make two rafters (left and right) from a 10 feet stud.
• Cut 2 pieces measuring: 4 feet 9-21/32” out of each 2x4x10 with a 30° Miter cut on both ends. See
picture below for reference. Measure twice cut once!
• Next step is to calculate and make the birdsmouth in the rafter, so that it sits on the TOP PLATE of
the wall structures. Check illustration below for details about how to calculate and make birds-
mouth. Use set square for this. Measure twice cut once!
• After building all the rafters cut two 2x4 20-1/2 inches center gable studs for front and back side.
• Join the Ridge Board with the Center Gable Studs on each end, by nailing 6 in. nails right through the
Ridge Board and into the center gable stud.
• Join the center gable stud with the front and back wall TOP PLATES by using two Corner Braces on
each side of the stud and screw with 1-inch wood screws.
• Nail all the rafters following the spacing from the Rafter layout drawing. Nail them diagonally to the
Ridge Board and on the other end to the TOP PLATES of the walls.
