Hi! Welcome back to Expert Village. My name is Charlie Folkman and today we are going
to continue building our gazebo. As you can see, we've got our side lattices up so next
is the roof. What we are going to do is have our ladder, our drill, our drill bits and
everything with us on the ladder to make it a lot easier. So let's go ahead and grab our
first piece and head up there and see what we can do. Okay now the first step is to actually
set your lattice up on here.
Remember it is a diagonal cut so you want it to sit diagonally on here. Okay now as
you can see, it is sort of sagging in the middle here so a way to avoid that is that
what you are going to want to do is put a couple of screws in this side first. Remember
to pre-drill your holes and after you've pre-drilled your holes go ahead and set in your couple
of screws. So I have that side screwed in. So what you want to do is go ahead and pull
this a little bit tight. Don't pull too hard because you don't want to warp the lattice.
Once you've pulled and once you have your hole pre-drilled, go ahead and insert your
screw into the hole.
Now be sure when you are inserting your screw, you don't want to drill in too deep because
(a) you don't want to break the lattice and (b) you don't want it to come out on the side
of the 2x4's.
