In the next photo you can see the angled supports are shown installed on the front and back. However, they aren't added to the ends or the interior/center two posts.



Although this looks okay, it is architecturally incorrect. The angled supports should be added to all corners for support.

I've added them on this model.



More in a few.

Here are several different views of the canopy supports now glued to the deck.

Time for a cold Diet Pepsi, back in a few.

I couldn't find the canopy roof card that came with the kit so I used the template as a pattern and cut another one.

Yep, 10 minutes later I found the original. I cut the new one so this is the one I used.



On the canopy roof I plan to show some exposed roof boards.

I drew two small circle like patterns on the roof panel.

I cut two holes out of the roof panel and have two choices as to how I want them on the top of the canopy supports.



Here you can see I've used 2X10s, cut and fit between the cardboard. The 2X10's are flush with the roof panel.

Scotch Tape was used to how the pieces in place.

I placed the cardboard over the 2X10 and cut it to fit.



I finished the exposed wood and here is how it looks without the rolled roofing paper.




More in a few.

I used black construction paper for the rolled roofing. The glue marks will not show once I paint the roof.




I painted the rolled roofing paper with Floquil Weathered Black.



Tomorrow I'll add the joists and weather the canopy roof.

Great little sub-assembly photos.  And very nice work!  Looks terrific, Tom!

By joists do you mean rafters?  My mum always told me about the many times her mum would send her down to the shops to get a pound of bacon.  When she got back with the bacon the comment was always "Oh!  You know when I say bacon I mean Ham!"

Loving your thread!  Cheers, Mark.

Mark,

The sub assembly was fun to scratch build. And, thank you, much appreciated.

Yes, rafters. My mind and thoughts were way ahead of the typing.

I appreciate you following along.

Cheers,

Tom

I glued the rafters to the underside of the canopy roof. I then glued the roof onto the platform support header beams.

When dry, I began the weathering of the rolled roofing.

In the photo below, refer to the left of the photo. I used a pallet sponge and rubbed PanPastell Neutral Grey Extra Dark on the left side. The second photo shows the roof covered with the Neutral Grey.

I then added PanPastel Paynes Grey Ex. Dark in various spots on the roof.



I then used the side/edge of the sponge pallet and added a few streaks of PanPastel Black.
