(Consider using constructionadhesive or polyurethane gluefor a strong, weather-tite bond.)Next, r-nount the plates.To squarerhe assenrbly. hold a franring squxreagainst each arch and the stretcher(Stcp 2).Apply adhesive to the plate,line up the plate on the arches, anddrive two screws to fasten it at eacharch.Then repeat the process for theother arch assembly.With your "wings" assembled,position the ridge between them. Icut a block to hold up the ridgewhile I glued and clamped the wingsin position (Step 3). Once they're inposition, drill countersunk screwholes in the stretchers and drive thescrews.You'll want to be sure to offsetthe screw holes slightly so thescrews won't collide (Ridge Detaitl.Starting nearest the ridge, alignand install the slats on the canopyassembly, but leave the next-to-lastslat off on both sides (Srep 4). Thiswill give you access to install theplates to the side panels later on.CONS]RUCT THE SIDE PANETSCompared to the canopy, the rest ofthis project is straightforward. Thetwo identical side panels consist of apair of 2x4 legs joined by 2x4 rails(Sidc Pancl Asscnrbly).
