Roof triangles were held together with 2x6 on the middle seam, and piano hinges on the edges, with aluminum/tar flashing over the seams. Sides were held by 4x4s on the inside corners, and firring straps around the roof/wall edge. The drywall screws that were holding the OSB to the 4x4s pulled through the wood. Never get tasty grease on the nylon ratcheting strap. Scavengers will eat it. Even though it is nylon.
