Post & Wall Plate
- Place the wall plates (B) out on the ground to create a true hexagon.
- Mark each internal ‘point’ as the centre of holes to be dug for the posts (H). The holes should be 250mm square and 600mm deep.
- Stand posts in each hole, with all recesses on the outside. Fix wall plate around the top of the post.
- Place wall plates horizontally into post in a true hexagonal position. Level and brace each post into vertical position.
- When all posts are vertical and parallel to each other, back fill with spoil and Postfix. Ram firm.
Roof
- Hold centre boss in centre of hexagon.
- Fix 2 long rafters (C) to centre boss (A) 125mm from top and fix long points to wall plate (B).
- Repeat for the remaining rafters and fix. Place short rafters (D) centrally between long rafters fixing to centre boss and wall plate.
- Cut roof cladding to fit roof (F&G) - this should overlap by one inch.
