Lift and Position Main Top Beams

What happens here

With assistance, carefully lift the main top beams (often referred to as headers or girders) and position them atop the vertical posts. This step often requires two or more individuals due to the length and weight of the beams. Ensure that the beams are seated properly in any pre-fabricated saddles or connection points on the posts, as seen in the video where a worker guides the beam into a specific slot. Double-check alignment with the overall design and confirm stability before proceeding to fastening.

Goal: Workers carefully lift and place long, pre-fabricated main top beams onto the previously installed vertical posts or ledger boards, ensuring they are correctly aligned with the existing structure.
