Push it up so it's even with the top of the rafter boards, then nail them into the ends of the rafters. Many people consider pre-built sheds or shed-building construction plans, when Anonymous (Suggested Reading). Use a nail gun to drive a nail in every 1 to 2 feet (0.30 to 0.61 m) to join the boards.
