Roof Supports & Front Wall

Once the walls were secured through the floor to the frame, I was able to affix the roof supports to the tops of the walls.

Each support is secured to each wall with a carriage bolt this way there is a flat top so when the roofing material goes on, it remains flat.

Once the roof supports were in place, the front wall was then built and tapped in to place.

The front wall is built from 2x2s (and one really bowed one). The wall is then bolted to the floor using 5 hex bolts, (no metal under this section, just plywood) and to the front roof support using 3 carriage bolts.

Front wall fits like a glove!
