My job would have been impossible without the Cat Fork lift. We assembled the roof timbers (A-Frame) as a unit. This consisted of (2) 16' 8x8's with 3 sockets (1) on each eave side and (1) at the peak. Just under 1000 lbs total weight each section. Since my perimeter pilings were already in place, we jacked each section of the roof assembly up and slid it down on the perimeter pilings. Getting it square was another matter. Once all were in place we squared the whole mass, then placed the roof purlins. Over the roof purlins we ran 2x4's perpendicular to the purlins and on their flat edge.
