similar manner. The top edge of the doors where they
will be hinged to the center ridge beam must also be
bevel cut at an 18.5° angle for it to sit properly.
Finally, before nailing, cut a ¾-inch x 1½-inch notch
in the 2 x 4 for the 1 x 4 roof ridge beam.
- Wrap with plastic. The plastic is stretched tightly over
the frame and stapled frequently (2 to 3 inches apart)
on the outside edges only. Each frame is double glazed
with plastic wrapped on both the inside and outside.
Excess plastic is trimmed after stapling. - Apply plastic weather strips on the top edge of the
doors and where the doors meet in the middle. This is
a simple 4-inch-wide piece of plastic, folded and
secured by a piece of lath. (See door frame detail.)
Also apply plastic weatherstrips along bottom inside
door frame edges for air seal.
