Siding and Roof-Framing

The framed walls were sided with T-111. The siding extended above the wall framing on the side walls. This masked the roller area. On the west end (where the roof rolls to when closed) the siding extended above the wall to match the side walls. On the east end (where the roof rolls off) the siding was cut to the top of the wall framing.

Once the siding was mostly on, I started framing the roof. Roof framing was 2x4" lumber. I used galvanized roof framing connectors for all the connections. They are very strong and eliminate a lot of difficult angular cutting.
