  2. Measure Roof Frame width from outside edge to edge and take note.
    • Measure Roof Frame width from outside edge to edge and take note.

  3. Measure the door width and divide that number by 2 to determine the centerline of the door opening.
    • Measure the door width and divide that number by 2 to determine the centerline of the door opening.

    • Take the Head Frame width from the previous step and divide that by 2 to determine the Side Pad offset from the door opening centerline.

    • Using the Side Pad offset dimension, mark lines from the centerline of the door opening to each side of the door opening.

    • Make a mark towards the top and bottom of each side of the door opening to help ensure the Side Pads are plumb.

    • These marks will be used in a later step to align the outside edges of the Side Pads.
