STEP 3 Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the support
box. Cut the hole 1/8" larger than the support box outline.
STEP 4 Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until the bottom of the support box protrudes
at least 2 inches below the ceiling. Align the support box in place through the inside walls and
into the roof sheathing.
STEP 5 Using tin snips, cut the support box from the top corners down to the roof line, and fold the
resulting flaps over the roof sheathing. Before nailing it to the roof, run a bead of non-hardening
mastic around the top edges of the support box, to make a seal between the box and the roof.
Clean out any combustible material from inside the support box.
STEP 6 Complete the cathedral ceiling installation by following the same procedures outlined in Steps 4
through 9 for vertical terminations.
