Measure in 315/8" from the corners of the string layout to mark the centers of the outside piers.

Step B: Set the Posts

1. Use a straight board to mark reference lines for squaring the post anchors. Set the board on top of one of the outer footings and on the center footing. Holding the board against the same side of the J-bolts, draw a pencil line along the board across the tops of the footings. Do the same for the remaining footings.

2. Place a metal post anchor on each perimeter footing and center it over the J-bolt. Use a framing square to position the anchor so it’s square to the reference line (see photo F, on page 215). Secure the anchor with washers and a nut.

3. Set each post in an anchor, tack it in place with a nail, then brace it with temporary cross braces so that it’s perfectly plumb. Secure the post to the anchor, using the fasteners recommended by the manufacturer. Note: You will cut the posts to length during the construction of the roof frame.
